The “Old Blind Granny” game places children in a situation where they must explore the world without sight, awakening their curiosity and sense of wonder. As they listen closely and experiment with sound, movement, and voice, they become more open to new ways of perceiving and interacting. This fosters openness to the unknown and strengthens imaginative play. Creativity comes into play as children invent original ways to move, guide, or trick the Granny. Emotional awareness and empathy are also developed, as children reflect on how it feels to be blindfolded and dependent on others. Altogether, the game builds trust, playfulness, and openness in the group.
