| Step-by-step instructions: |
Even though the awareness raising workshop on visual impairment has got an undefined number of participants, a maximum of 3 People can play this game at the same time.
Thus, the vi facilitator will explain the game and will ask for 3 volunteers to play.
Players are blindfolded. The rest of the participants at the workshop act as observers.
On a table, the facilitator puts randomly the 3d objects and the 2d ones. The 2D objects are tactile drawings (also called raised line drawings) and the facilitator needs to have prepared them in advance (it would be better if they have been prepared with a Braille printer or with the rubber board for tactile drawings).
The blindfolded competitors are invited to sit in front of a table and, by touch, they have to match the 3D objects with their 2D pair.
They have 5 minutes to do it. More objects there are on the table, more funny and difficult the activity will become.
The player who matches the majority of pairs in the given time, wins the game.
Example of objects both in 3D and 2D: a spoon, a cup, a pencil, a glass, a piece of chocolate, a small cube, an apple, a tennis ball, a clothespin, a brush, etc. Alternatively, you can also use different geometrical shapes.
The activity ends with a debriefing held by the facilitator using some questions for reflection e.g. the ones of the “Reflection / Evaluation questions” section. |
