Kanamachi
Kanamachi is a traditional Bengali game like blind man's buff: one player is blindfolded and tries to catch the others.
Era: 90s & 2000s
What it was like
The others circle the blindfolded player chanting the old rhyme 'Kanamachi bho bho', tapping them and darting away.
Whoever gets caught is blindfolded next. All you need is a scarf and some open space.
