Old Blind Granny

In Old Blind Granny, one child (the “Granny”) is blindfolded and placed in the middle of the play area, while the others move around freely. The blindfolded player must rely on listening, imagination, and curiosity to explore where the others are. Players can make soft sounds, giggles, or taps to guide the Granny, and respond to her call of “Where are you?” with “Here I am!” The goal is not only to find and recognize others, but also to enjoy the wonder of moving and playing without sight, opening space for creative and curious discovery.
