Suggerimenti

• 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.

Variazioni

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.
