This game comes from a Games book published by the
Bharat Scouts and Guides (India).  It is attributed
to the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland.

Lighthouse

equipment - enough blindfolds for half your group.
location - a reasonably large room.

The Leader is the lighthouse.  Half the troop (pack, company) are ships, and
put on the blindfolds at one end of the room.  The other half are rocks, and
distribute themselves on the floor between the ships and the lighthouse.  Please
ask the rocks to keep their hands and feet in to minimize tripping.  The rocks
also should not clump up.

The lighthouse goes "woo woo" to guide the ships.  The rocks go "swish, swish"
quietly to warn the ships of their presence.  On go, the ships navigate
between the rocks to the lighthouse.  If they touch a rock, they are sunk
and must sit on the floor (and go "swish, swish" also).  When all the ships
have made it to the lighthouse (or have been sunk), the rocks and ships
switch places.
