RULES

BLIND GOAT

Players must choose a location, either indoors (living room) or outdoors (yard, garden, etc.), and position themselves in a circle. They should hold hands and select the "blind goat" by drawing lots. The “blind goat” stands in the center with their eyes blindfolded.

After spinning around three times on the spot, the blind goat will attempt to catch one of the other players, who chant "blind goat, blind goat."

The group may spread out to avoid being caught. If the blindfolded player identifies (guesses) a playmate, they must say their name and switch places with them. The key is for the blind goat to recognize their playmates through touch (physical contact and tactile recognition).

DROP THE HANDKERCHIEF

Players form a circle, standing or sitting, with their hands behind their backs.

While everyone sings "the handkerchief goes around, it will fall to the ground," one player runs around the circle holding the scarf. The seated players must not look behind them. At some point, the runner discreetly drops the scarf behind another participant.

If the chosen player notices the scarf behind them, they must immediately run after the person who dropped it, attempting to catch them before they take the empty spot.

If the runner gets caught, they must go to the center of the circle and are out of the game.
