Purpose: An
team challenge that focuses on communication and leadership.
Materials: One
Blindfold for each participant, One index card per participant with numbers on
them
Description:
- Give
each participant a number card, instruct them not to share it with anyone,
and then blindfold each participant and have them return their number card
to you.
- The
goal is for the group to put themselves in numeric order while
blindfolded, without talking.
- For older groups, here’s a great
way you can increase the level of difficulty. Do not give the participants consecutive
numbers. Skip around with little regard to the pattern, for example 1, 2, 3,
5, 8, 9, 10, 14, 17, 18. Be sure to always have a “1” and the number that
represents the number of participants in the activity.
Discussion/Reflection:
What was difficult about this
challenge?
How did your team overcome being
blindfolded?
How did you overcome your
inability to speak?
What would you do differently if
we were to try this again?
