ACTIVITY OBJECTIVE: This game aims to enhance children’s leadership skills.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
This game is played in pairs. The aim is to build trust and improve communication skills. One of the participants is blindfolded and tries to walk through a set of obstacles (or “mines”) following instructions given by their partner. To make the game more interesting, you can limit the instructions to a set of four words, such as “forward, backward, left, right”. After a player successfully navigates the “minefield”, they switch roles with their partner.
