The Number Game

Have everyone in the group sit in a circle. This game works best for small to medium sized groups; the bigger the circle the harder it is.

Choose a person to begin in the middle of the circle and blindfold them. Once their eyes are covered, go around the circle and silently number everyone from 1 to however many people are in the circle. Have someone say "We're ready," and the person in the middle can begin the game.

The person in the middle will call out two numbers, and the people whose numbers he called have to get up and try to switch places without being tagged by the person in the middle. The people will be trying to move as quietly as they can, and the people in the circle may help out by rustling or coughing. The person in the middle, unable to see, tries to listen for the people moving, to tag one before they've gotten to place of the person they switched with. If both players make it to their new spots, they clap their hands twice so the person in the middle will know to call a new set of numbers.

If the person in the middle succeed in tagging someone, the person they tagged becomes the new person in the middle. They're blindfolded, everyone numbers off again and a new round of the game begins.
