2. Blind Man’s Bluff
Introduction
• Blind man's bluff is a form of tag which has been
played since the Tudor era. There is also a
traditional Chinese version known as "Blind
Man’’.
• Many people have played some form of this
game in childhood, and sometimes adults play it
as well, especially at organized ice breaking
events.
• Age : 6 years old and above

3. How to play ?
- Pick a child to become “it” and blindfold him/her.
- Turn her around a few times to disorientate her a little.
- The other players may be required to disperse and
then stand still at the beginning of the game, or they
can move at any time while the game is played.
- “It” attempts to tag players, using his or her
senses(sound and movement) to find them, and the
game ends when a new “It” is chosen.

5. What’s The Time Mr. Wolf ?
Introduction
- This game is the same format as "grandma's
footsteps", but with a wolf in place of
grandma.
- Age : 7 to 11 years old

6. How to play ?
- The wolf stands at the other end of the room, facing
the rest of the group/ facing the opposite of the group.
- The rest of the group ask, "What's the time, Mr Wolf?".
The wolf then says a time between 1 and 12, for
example, "Three o'clock.“
- The group would then take three steps forward. This
continues until the group is very close to the wolf.
- Then the wolf can say "Dinner time!" and has to try
and catch as many group members as they can, before
they all run back to the other end of the room.

8. SIMON SAYS
Introduction
• Originated from Latin.
• This game has translated across multiple
cultures from seemingly common routes and
some international versions also use the name
Simon such as the Spanish "Simón dice",
"Símon segir" in Icelandic, "Szymon mówi" in
Polish.

9. How to play?
• Simon says is a game for three or more
players (most often children).
• The catch is, the magic phrase is "Simon says".
• If Simon says "Simon says jump.", you jump (if
you don't jump, you're out).

11. Musical Chairs
Introduction
- A game in which players walk to music around
a group of chairs containing one chair fewer
than the number of players and rush to sit
down when the music stops.
- The player left standing in each round is
eliminated.

12. How to play ?
• The game starts with any number of players
and a number of chairs one fewer than the
number of players; the chairs are arranged in
a circle facing outward.
• While the music is playing, the players in the
circle walk or run in unison around the chairs.
• When the music controller suddenly shuts off
the music, everyone must race to sit down in
one of the chairs.

13. • The player who is left without a chair is
eliminated from the game, and one chair is
also removed to ensure that there will always
be one fewer chair than there are players.
• The music resumes and the cycle repeats until
there is only one player left in the game, who
is the winner.
