    Share Share Post
    The outdoor games I play are:- Blind - man's buff, Blackman, wolf, Dan - dan, High - windows, Colours, Birds. The indoor games I play are:- Snakes and ladders, Ludo, Draughts, Throwing rings, Snap, and Old Maid.
    The way Blackman is played locally is:-
    One of the children is picked out to become the "Blackman".
    Then he runs after the rest of the children and tries to catch them.
    The last person caught will be the Blackman.
