"Squeak, Piggy, Squeak!"

(blindfold – optional)

You will need:

• a medium to large play space
• a group of children
• a blind fold (a child’s winter scarf works well)

What to do:

• one child wears the blindfold, the rest of the children stand close to the blindfolded child
• the blindfolded child feels around until he touches someone, the blindfolded child says, "Squeak, piggy, squeak"
• the caught child must say, "Squeak, squeak" the blindfolded child must then try and identify the caught child
• when this has been done, the children trade places and the game continues, game ends when all children have had a chance to be blindfolded

 

Special Note:

• some young children do not like to be blindfolded - they should not be forced!
• sometimes it is helpful to have a mask pre-made with no eye-holes
• this is somewhat less threatening and is intriguing too!
