Divide the children into two teams and stand them on opposite sides of the room. If you play this game outside, just have the children stand in two lines facing each other.

Now one member of the other team must cross the room quietly and touch the blindfolded child, trying to keep their identity secret, then return to their place. That team can then shuffle themselves up, if they wish, to confuse the blindfolded child. Remove the bindfold and have the child go over to the other team and try to guess which child touched them.

The object is to keep it from touching the ground. Besides being played in the schoolyard, it is also very popular among the senior citizens as a way to keep their limbs active. It is played with a net, and is similar to volleyball if volleyball was played primarily with feet. The ancient art of calligraphy is regularly practiced in the parks.

Painters draw traditional Chinese characters using a long brush pen soaked in black ink or water. Sometimes outdoor calligraphy contests will be organized.

Children often save them from the dinner table. Just like jacks, a ball or tiny beanbag is tossed up during play.
