Instructions
Objective:
To foster teamwork, trust, active listening, and creative problem-solving while navigating obstacles using verbal or non-verbal communication.
- Setup: Mark a start and finish line in the playing area.
- Select two students:
- One student is blindfolded and starts at the beginning.
- The other stands near the finish line and acts as a verbal guide.
- Position the obstacles: The remaining students scatter between the start and finish lines, standing still and silent throughout the game.
- Navigation:
- The blindfolded student listens carefully to the guide’s verbal instructions to avoid obstacles and reach the finish line.
- If they touch a stationary student, they must return to the start and try again.
- Variation – silent challenge:
- Remove the verbal guide and have the team develop non-verbal signals (e.g., clapping, stomping, tapping) to guide the blindfolded student.
- Speech is not allowed, encouraging creative communication.
- Two blindfolded students can navigate simultaneously, increasing the challenge.
