Folk Games

Grandmother's Footsteps

Source: traditional?

One player is Grandma, and stands at one end of the room facing away from the other players. The other players stand at the other end of the room and have to try and tap Grandma on the shoulder.

Grandma can tun around at any moment. If they turn around and see someone moving, they point to that player and the player has to go back to the start.
