And does everybody know what a "Blind man's buff" is?
Ideally, we need a game where one person is blindfolded, and the others call out to them.
Or the blindfolded person asks "are you there?", etc. and the others respond.

There's a game played in a pool that's similar where kids call out Marco and Polo.

Actually, Marco Polo suits our purpose better, thanks!

You're most welcome!

I have heard of that, and also thewayne's suggestion.

Thanks!

Both blind man's bluff and marco polo, as described above, are fairly common games kids play. You could also just describe what you want students to do in an exercise. :)

Thanks! We need a name of a game, it's for a book.

I never played it. Pin the tail on the donkey is much more fun!

But you have an idea of what it is? And how about Marco Polo?

[heartonsnow]

Marco Polo is an historical character and I have never heard of a game called that.

Nowadays it would be sight impaired person's bluff!

The idea of running around blindfolded never appealed to me.
