Instructions

One player is designated "it." With eyes closed, they give a starting count of 10 or 15 while the other players get into position somewhere on the playground. After the count, the person who is it starts searching the play area for the other players—but they must keep their eyes closed.

If they hear anyone stepping on or touching the ground, they shout "groundies!" If anyone is on the ground, that person becomes it, if not, they stay it and must wait at least 5 seconds before the next "grounders" call. A new it must give a starting count of 10 or 15 just like at the beginning of the game. T

Make sure to set some rules for safety. For example, let players know they cannot climb too high or make really dangerous movements such as jumping from one part of the playground to the other. It is recommended you play this game with kids Nghia Si age or higher.
