St Patricks Day Party Idea -

The Blinds Go Marching

Who can get closest to the target?

First put a wooden stake into the ground.

All the players but one are blindfolded. They stand in a circle around the stake. The distance between the stake and "the blinds" (blindfolded children) is measured by the steps. Usually this distance is equal to 30-50 steps. "The blinds" are facing the stake.

"The sighted" player begins to count and all "the blinds" go marching to his/her counting in the direction of the stake. When "the sighted" has counted up to the number of steps between the stake and "the blinds", all the players stop and move away blindfolds. The players are usually surprised at seeing themselves having gone to the wrong direction.

"The blind" who manages to come to the stake becomes "the sighted", and the former "sighted" becomes "the blind".
