Goal:
- Respond to gestural communication signals
- Weld a team
- Create a time of conviviality
What we like:
- To strengthen the ties
Warning:
- Use an open space without obstacles
Steps
- Make teams of the same number of people and put them in columns in separate places
- Each member of the column wears a scarf to blindfold their eyes.
- Only the last of the column keep their eyes open.
- Each column must touch the last of another column while moving. It is the last that indicates the path to follow.
- The goal is to form the longest caterpillar.
- The columns are far from each other without knowing where they are.
- The first person in the column forms the head of the caterpillar, and the last - its tail.
- The last of each column must move his column thanks to codes: taps on the shoulders that each one transmits to the first of the column who leads.
-
- 2 taps on the shoulders to move forward
- 1 tap on the shoulders to stop
- 1 tap on the left shoulder to turn right
- 1 tap on the right shoulder to turn right
- The goal is to form the longest caterpillar. To do this, the head of one caterpillar must touch the tail of another.
- Once touched, the person goes to the opposing team and becomes the tail of the caterpillar that touched them. And so on...
With younger children (kindergarten), all players keep their eyes open and must, in "caterpillar", try to hit:
- EITHER the tail of the opposing caterpillar with the head of their caterpillar team.
- BE simpler, the animator of the game who moves in the same space and therefore undulates this caterpillar of children
CONCRETELY :
- Eyes closed, were you afraid? About what ? Why ?
GOING FURTHER:
- Which of the 5 senses do you think is the most important in your life: touch / smell / taste / hearing / sight?
- If you lose your sight, what help will you seek, what will you do?

- NEEDS OF OTHERS: When one is deprived of one of the five senses, sight for example in this game, one is pushed to turn to others. From our weakness, temporary in the game of the caterpillar, is born a momentum towards the other. Without them, it would be more difficult, even impossible sometimes.
- A JOYIER SOCIETY: So having a weakness is not synonymous with failure''. Each weakness must be a new possibility of turning to the other. 'If I have a problem at school I ask a friend for help, if I'm good at math I ask my friends to help them. With a society that takes into account the weakness of the other, we create more joy, as in the game of the caterpillar which is always a source of much laughter.
- STRONGER TOGETHER: Our weaknesses are not fun, not easy to deal with. We must rely on those around us to be stronger and happier together.
- The risk of a society where all weakness is silenced is to be a society where depression increases, because we no longer dare to turn to our neighbour. and we risk living a little too much alone.
You have to remember that you always have someone smaller than you. And you, who can you help today?
Good advice: Do not keep your weaknesses to yourself!
