All of the students lined up on one side of the gymnasium and wore blindfolds. There was one student in the middle of the gymnasium who wore a black jersey and did not wear a blindfold.
There was one student at the other end of the gymnasium who wore a white jersey and also did not wear a blindfold.
The object of the game for white was to get as many of the blindfold players from one side of the gymnasium to other. The player with the white jersey was allowed to call out to them. Once players made it over to the other side, they were allowed to remove their blindfolds. They then returned to the beginning, safely, and whispered into the ears of the blindfolded players, trying to tell them when and where to run so that they would not get caught.
The object of the game for black was to prevent the players from crossing by tagging them during the intercession. If they were tagged, they removed their blindfolds. Some remained in the middle and were allowed to also tag players as they passed. Others were sent back to the beginning to pretend to be blindfolded. They whispered into the ears of the blindfolded players, trying to tell them when and where to run so that they would get caught.
There was also one secret blindfolded player that no one knew about. Both sides had to guess. If this player reached the other side, the player with the white jersey was allowed to roam freely. If they tagged any player on the black side, they returned to the white side. Or, if white jersey player tagged the black jersey player, then all the black players returned to the white side and the game is over.
