Students will have lots of fun guiding each other or being guided through an obstacle course by their teammates. This activity tests communication skills and builds trust between pairs of students.
Materials needed: blindfolds or scarves (one per pair) and obstacles, e.g., chairs and boxes.
Preparation: Before the activity, set up the obstacle course by placing furniture and other items around the classroom. Decide where the route students take will begin and end, marking the finish line.
How to play:
- Put students in pairs. If possible, have them work with a student they don’t know very well. Have one student in each pair cover their eyes with a blindfold. This student is a blinded person and their partner will be their eyes.
- The guide stands behind their blind partner and places their hands on their partner’s shoulders. Their job is to quietly give instructions to guide their partner towards the finish line, navigating the obstacles.
- The first pair to finish wins.
- Have students swap roles. Move some of the obstacles. Then repeat the activity.
Tips : If possible, play the game in the playground or in the school gym. The larger the space, the more complex you can make the route.
