Steps
- A playing area is defined, on which a course is marked. It has mandatory obstacles and “gates”, a start line and a finish. The course is marked with chalk or with ropes, branches, etc.
- Each team forms pairs of players: one will be the blind man, and the other his guide. The "blind" have a blindfold over their eyes that they are strictly forbidden to remove. They are placed behind the starting line.
Terrain advice: Game included in a fort boyar-type event day This is a variant of the blind game In each team, name a participant who will have to do the course running, with feet together, on one foot, backwards , and one blind The teams line up in single file. Time each passage A team begins the relay, one by one the participants will have to for example go around a chair, pass over a bench and touch a tree. The second participant leaves only if the first has clap his hand when he has finished. The teams each pass in turn, the opposing teams can have fun destabilizing the one doing the course. The team that wins the game is the one that completes the course as quickly as possible.
1) At the starting signal, the pairs must reach the finish line by taking the marked course.
2) Each blind person is guided, by voice only, by his guide. Guides do not have the right to enter the playing area. They must guide the blind from a distance, by voice.
3) A blind man who misses a door must go back to re-pass it. The pair, whose blind man crosses the finish line first, wins.
- Depending on the number of blind-guide pairs, the start will be given at the same time for everyone, or staggered starts every 30 seconds. In this case, it is necessary to time the course of each blind man to determine the winning team.
- It is possible to form larger teams: it is then necessary to vary the "handicaps". For example, a team of 7 people may include a blind person (blindfolded), a one-legged person (will hop on one foot), a legless person (must be carried) and four able-bodied people. Mutual aid is all the more important in order to cross the finish line together. In this case the "valid" players are present on the course and physically help the "invalids".
The route may include obstacles, but these must in no case present a danger to the blind.
Absolutely avoid holes in the ground or dangerous branches.
Before departure, the guides carry out a precise identification of the course, to be able to guide the blind people effectively.
CONCRETELY :
- Can the blind man make it to the end alone?
- What allowed me to reach the end?
FOR FURTHER :
- In everyday life, have you ever worked with someone more competent than you? How has it helped you?
#responsibility #others #cooperate #help #team
- I have to ensure that everyone reaches the goal: this is the "responsibility"
- To succeed in the game, everyone must take care of the others: the fastest and most skillful must slow down sometimes because they do not see the obstacles, they are obliged to pay attention to the advice given; the slower or less skillful can play the role of "guide", they provide advice and work to ensure that their blind person advances as well as possible. Everyone does their best.
Good advice: being responsible means working together for the common good
Other possible concepts to discuss:
- team spirit: one cannot be done without the other
- trust: the one who is blindfolded must imperatively trust the one who directs him
- listening: the one who is blindfolded must listen well to the one who directs him
- adapt to the capacities of the other: the one who leads must adapt to the capacities of the one he guides
We made a variant with Mines (sheets of paper on the ground). The team must guide the blind man to avoid the mines. - In a space that is too big, it's too easy. We changed the rules: You had to find the mines in the shape of a ball of paper.
