Blind Man's Bluff is a classic game that combines excitement, laughter, and a bit of suspense. Here's how to play:
Objective: To avoid being caught by the blindfolded player.
How to Play:
Choose the "It": One player is chosen to be "It."
Blindfold: The chosen player is blindfolded.
Disorientation: To make the game more challenging, the blindfolded player is often spun around a few times before starting.
Scatter and Dodge: The other players scatter around the playing area, trying to avoid being caught by the blindfolded player.
Catching Players: The blindfolded player tries to tag other players. If they successfully tag someone, that player becomes the new "It."
Variations: Some variations include guessing the name of the caught player before becoming "It," or setting a time limit for the game.
Safety First:
Always ensure the playing area is clear of obstacles to prevent injuries.
Use a soft blindfold to avoid discomfort.
Blind man's buff, also known as blind man's bluff, is a variation of tag where the player who is "It" is blindfolded. Traditionally, the game is called "blind man's buff," with "buff" referring to its older meaning of a gentle push.
