The blind walk exercise helps people practice taking care and trusting each other.
How is it done?
Children work in pairs. One is blindfolded or simply keeps their eyes closed. The other one leads by guiding his or her blindfolded partner around obstacles and other people, using nonverbal instructions. This may be done through physical contact such as holding hands, shoulder-to-shoulder, holding their neck, or placing their palm on a person's back, shoulder, or hip.
Next, the person who can see leads the blindfolded member from a slow walk to a short fast run.
What is it good for?
Blind walk activity develops leadership, communication, and trust skills.
