The players sit in a circle; one of them is blindfolded and stands in the center. Each player is given a number. Then the blindfolded player calls 3 or 4 numbers. such as 1, 5, 9, 10. 

The players who have those numbers jump up and change seats among themselves. While this changing goes on the blindfolded player attempts to catch them. If he does succeed in catching one he must guess who the captive is (by feeling his dress, features, etc.). 

If he guesses correctly his eyes are uncovered and the captive is" it." If not, the game is continued as before--several more members being called out.
