All children are sitting in a circle, one child has some leaves in his hand and runs

When she manages to do so, then the boy starts again. But the boy is fast and therefore the girl starts now the same game all over.

Kann Kattuthal Asia S-India Playing with things Props: piece of cloth N.o.p.: 10
In this mostly played by boys game, one boy is blindfolded with some piece of cloth, so he can’t see. The other boys may touch him any time and the blindfolded boy must try to catch any boy who is touching him. That is not always easy as you can see. When he has caught one, he should guess who that boy is. But mostly they don’t do that, because they are too tired and are happy that they finally had caught one!
