Blind Square - Rope game

Cómo ejecutarlo

1. 1

   Prepare a length of rope (around 20 meters) tied into a circle and have blindfolds ready for each participant.

2. 2

   Explain the rules: the goal is to form a square with the rope while blindfolded.

3. 3

   Allow 15 minutes for planning where participants cannot touch the rope.

4. 4

   After the planning time, blindfold all participants and distribute the rope.

5. 5

   Set a timer for 10 minutes for the team to form the square without visual cues.

6. 6

   Once they believe they've created a square, they should lay the rope down to check their work.

7. 7

   Facilitate a discussion about their experiences during the activity.

Consejos

• Encourage participants to listen to each other closely to ensure effective communication.

• Remind teams to be patient; it's normal for the process to be chaotic at first.

• Use the debrief to explore team dynamics and individual roles within the team.

Variaciones

Consider changing the shape from a square to a triangle or circle for additional challenges. You can also include a mix of blindfolded and sighted individuals for more complex dynamics.
