Two players are chosen: one is the Hunter, the other is Bigfoot. Both players are blindfolded and
stand at opposite ends of the table. The Hunter tries to catch Bigfoot, but of course, can't see where Bigfoot is. Bigfoot tries to keep away from the Hunter, but can't tell where the Hunter is. Each tries to fool the other by giving false signals. The Hunter may tiptoe to one end of the table and start pounding and then quickly run to the other end because he expects Bigfoot to run away from the noise. The Hunter may whisper, call out, and give all kinds of misleading signals. Bigfoot also may make sounds and then run to a different spot to fool the Hunter. The others in the group have fun, too, watching Bigfoot try to escape. Sometimes Bigfoot walks right into the surprised Hunter. You may want to ask those who are watching to be quiet so as not to give any clues, and to stop Bigfoot and the Hunter from running into anything. Or you may want to encourage them to give advice (including misleading advice!) and distract the players. Both ways are interesting. After the Hunter catches Bigfoot, choose two other players to take their places. |
