Blindfold Guide

One student is blindfolded — the team guides them through a course using only words.

Builds trust, precise communication, and the experience of depending completely on others.

Instructions

Set up a simple obstacle course. One student is blindfolded. Their team must guide them through using only verbal instructions — no touching. Each team member can only give one instruction at a time. The challenge is clear communication and trust. Switch roles. Debrief: what made the instructions clear or confusing?
