In this game, one player is taken into the middle of the room and a scarf is tied over his/her eyes. This player is then turned round three times and told to catch whom he/she can.

The other players run to and fro, passing as near to the blindfolded player as they dare, until someone is caught.

The blindfolded player must guess who they've caught - if correct, their captive takes their place. If the guess is wrong, they must let go and try again.

Two pieces of tape are stretched across the carpet. An ordinary hen's egg -- which has had the entire contents removed without cracking the shell -- is laid exactly midway between the tape lines.

A girl player then makes a little paper fan out of half a sheet of notepaper and kneels down on one side of the tapes and a boy kneels down on the other. The girl then has to try to fan the egg shell across the tape on the boy's side and he has to try to blow the shell back across the tape on the girl's side. The one who first drives the egg across his partner's line three times wins the contest.

Nothing must be used by the girl but the paper fan or her hand, and the boy must simply blow with his mouth.

A lit candle is placed upon a table or chair and each player is, in turn, blindfolded and stood with his back to the candle, about two feet away. He is then told to take three steps forward, turn round three times, take four steps towards the candle and then blow it out.

In the majority of cases, the blindfolded player will lose all idea of distance and position, and when he blows, it will be in quite another part of the room from that in which the candle stands. Of course, it is wise to have a player or two standing by the side of the candle to prevent any blindfolded person from getting too near.
