- They blindfold themselves, turn in circles to lose the way.
- At the call “Start” the participants should try to find their half quote by repeating theirs in sweet and low voice.
- Children can move around with their hands stretched so that they don’t dash against anyone.
- As soon as they find their partner they should uncover their eyes and must go to the guru to report it.
- The guru to check the quote. If there is a mistake, they blindfold themselves and go back to the game.
- The first pair wins.
