Games from the Old Days

Skip Away Chasingers Charlie Over the Water Frog in the Middle Hat Ball Blind Mans Buff

Any number can play. One member (IT) of the class or group is blindfolded and counts to 20 or is spun around, whilst the rest scatter about the room. The blindfolded person has to chase and catch somebody and identify him or her correctly, by touch alone. If IT guesses correctly, the person identified becomes IT. If IT doesnt identify the person, then the game begins again with the same person as IT.

Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity. The relationship between the soundness of the body and the activities of the mind is subtle and complex. Much is not yet understood. But we do know what the Greeks knew: that intelligence and skill can only function at the peak of their capacity when the body is healthy and strong." - President John Fitzgerald Kennedy
