blindmans

Blindman's is a traditional children's game played worldwide. The objective of the game is for one player, designated as "blindman," to tag other players. The blindman has their eyes covered, typically with a cloth, and must try to locate and tag the other participants by touch or sound. The other players move around the blindman, attempting to avoid being caught while sometimes making noises to either help or hinder the blindman.

When the blindman successfully tags another player, that player then becomes the new blindman, and their eyes are covered. The game usually continues until a predetermined number of rounds have been played or until a specific time limit is reached. Blindman's is a simple game that requires minimal equipment, making it accessible for play in various settings. It is often played outdoors or in large indoor spaces. The game promotes physical activity, spatial awareness, and listening skills among children. Variations of the game exist in different cultures, sometimes with slightly different rules or names. The core concept of a blindfolded seeker trying to tag others remains consistent across these variations.
