This great game is actually a grown-up version of "Blind-man's Buff." Blindfold one player, who is "It." After the blindfold is in place, all the other players take seats in the circle. "It" walks around the circle and sits down on the lap of one of the seated players - without touching the seated player in any other way at all. "It" says "Ummm." The seated player says "Ummm" (in a disguised voice, of course). "It" has to try to guess the identity of the seated player. If "It" isn't sure and wants to say "Ummm" again, the seated player must reply with "Ummm" a second time. "It" gets one more "Ummm" and a reply, and then a third guess. If the guess is correct, the seated player is "It," gets blindfolded, and then everyone changes seats for the next round. If the guess is wrong, "It" goes back into the middle and the game starts again. Note: Warn the players to disguise their laughter, too. |
