| Step-by-step instructions: |
The visually impaired facilitator explains the game and says that there will be 5 rounds.
Participants are divided into teams. Each team chooses its name and a sound to perform (e.g. the sound of an animal).
Then, each team chooses a member who will be blindfolded and who will play the first round for the team.
The facilitator has previously prepared 5 different objects (good if they are similar in size/dimension, texture, etc).
These objects can be:
1) a grain of rice, a lentil, a chickpea, a bean, a grain of corn;
2) a lemon, an orange, a mandarin, a peach, an apple.
For each object, the facilitator must have different ones so that each player can touch it simultaneously. E.g. if there are 4 teams, the facilitator must have 4 oranges. At the first round, the blindfolded competitors have to guess what they are touching with their hands. But… they are allowed to say it loudly only if they have performed the sound of their team! The first who makes the sound, is the one who is allowed to answer! If the team answers before having made its sound, the team receives a point against.
For each round the team chooses a different member to play and the game goes on until the 5 objects are over.
The team who has answered the majority of correct answers (after having performed their sound) wins the game.
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. |
