| Folks have played blindman's bluff for hundreds of years! |
Too much winter break? Looking
for something to do with your crew? Play a game of blindman’s bluff – much as
kids have for years.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, an
American suffragist and woman of letters, wrote about her girlhood in upstate
New York in the 1830s. “The winter gala days,” she said, “are associated...with
hanging up stockings and with turkeys, mince pies, sweet cider, and sleigh
rides by moonlight.”

Stanton also played a crowd
favorite, blindman’s “buff," “almost every evening during the vacation.”
So can you!
