Eight Family Games

Pre- and post-dinner ideas from FamilyFun

This blindfold game is as entertaining for the onlookers as it is for the two players taking a turn at being the fox and the rabbit. In this mock hunt, players of all ages are challenged to use only their sense of hearing to find and tag their "prey."

WHAT YOU'LL NEED: At least five players, two blindfolds and a small grassy area in which to play.

RULES: Get everyone into a circle, with players about arm's length away from one another. Because this game relies on one player hearing another's movements, it is best played on grass, and everyone should keep very quiet during each round. Pick one player to be the fox and another to be the rabbit. Bring them both to the center of the circle and blindfold them (if young children do not wish to be blindfolded, they can just close their eyes). Explain that the fox is hunting at night and is listening for his prey, the rabbit. The rabbit, naturally, is trying to avoid the fox. The other players are trees that will guide the rabbit or fox gently back into the circle when either wanders off the playing area. Turn the rabbit and fox around several times to disorient them slightly, then let the hunt begin. Allow a little time for this game--every player will want a turn at being the predator and prey.
