Blind man rush
Blind man rush
Blinded hide&seek
Twist the blindfolded person round so they are a bit disoriented.
Then have the players say nothing while the blindfolded player tries to find them.
If they are touched by the blindfolded person, then they are out of the game.
The winner is the last player standing.
The blindfolded person has to wander the room in search of another player.
Then could also be spun around a few times first so they are disoriented and don't know where they are.
Once they touch someone,they have to guess who they found.
If they are correct, the kid they found gets to be blindfolded next.

Open the doors, king
