How to play
Blindfold a person and have them stand on a chair. Tell them they are going to jump off the chair when it is held high in the air. Two people on the side lift the chair slightly off the ground. The host asks the player on the chair to touch them on the shoulder, then the host ducks so the person thinks they are very high in the air. They then jump and land way sooner than they expect. It's quite funny.

Spin Chasey
Everyone — including the designated tagger — spins in place while looking up for a set time (about a minute works). The moment time is called, the dizzy tagger tries to catch as many equally dizzy players as possible within the playing area. Everyone caught becomes a tagger for the next round, and the game repeats until no one is left standing free. Play on soft ground, well away from anything with corners.
