In reconstructing the socio-cultural history of the child / childhood, children’s games and toys are among the most frequently used documents and objects of historical and cultural interpretation. Körebe (blind man’s bluff) is one of the children’s games with a long history and a wide geographical distribution which is encountered in qualified works such as compilation and monographs on children’s games in all regions of Anatolia. The compilation and monographs of children’s plays made in all regions of Anatolia, which are encountered in the quality of the game, körebe is a game with a long history and a wide geographical distribution. Körebe is a very familiar children’s game with its pattern, rules, areas and time. It is one of the regular group games that take place in the traditional classifications of children’s games, which are played indoors or outdoors, in designated areas (sometimes a circle, sometimes a room), regardless of gender. The content and basic characteristics of the play in Anatolian variations are mostly unchanged. The game, in terms of the role of the ebe in children’s games; körebe who gave his name to the game is the loser in a negative and punished role. The game continues to find new losers and the player who has not become the ebe is the winner. The origins of most children’s plays are known to derive from the ritualistic practices of the archaic period, bears traces of them, or continue with implicit elements that have survived to the present day. It seems difficult to relate to the ritual elements in this state of körebe game that we try to describe. Is that so? In this paper, we will try to discuss on the traces of the game which is called blind goat in many parts of the world and which is known as kör çepiç in some parts of Anatolia, is a ritual remnant hidden in social memory.
