Blindfolded Games Animal Blind Mans Bluff
( Blindfolded, Bluffing, Educational, Tennis Ball )One player is blindfolded and stands in the center of a circle with a wand stick or cane in his hand. The other players dance around him in circle until he taps three times on the floor with his cane when they must stand still. The blind man thereupon points his cane at some player who must take the opposite end of the cane in his hand. The blind man then commands him to make a noise like some animal such as a cat dog cow sheep lion donkey duck parrot. From this the blind man tries to guess the name of the player. If the guess be correct they change places. If wrong the game is repeated with the same blind man.
The players should try to disguise their natural tones as much as possible when imitating the animals and much sport may be had through the imitation. Players may also disguise their height to deceive the blind man by bending their knees to seem shorter or rising on toes to seem taller.
Where there are thirty or more players two blind men should be placed in the center.
There is much sport in this game for either children or adults or both together. The author has known it to be the occasion for great merriment under all three circumstances.
