The Colour Game: a game from Somalia

For five or more players

What do you need?
A blindfold and some pieces of different coloured cloth or card.

How to play:

1. Place the pieces of card or cloth in a circle on the floor.
2. The player who is 'on' is blindfolded, turned around and asked to sit in the middle of a circle of colours.
3. A player calls out a colour. If the blindfolded player touches the correct colour they remain in the circle, if not the player who called out the colour is 'on'.
