Greek Traditional Game - Blind Fly

 

For this game, at least four children are needed and a scarf is required. It can be developed both indoors and outdoors. The children choose the child who will be blindfolded with the scarf. Then the rest of the kids move around it, talk to it, ask it to catch them, etc. When one is caught, the child doing the "Blind fly" tries, with his eyes closed because of the scarf, to identify it by feeling. If he succeeds, then the child caught becomes the "Blind fly" and the game continues.

The students' opinion when they played the traditional game of Greece:

• “The game Blind Fly is similar to Jogo da Cabra Cega" (Blind goat), from Portugal”.
• “I loved playing a game I knew and knowing that kids in Greece also play the same game.”
• “It was a fun morning!"
