Materials / Equipment needed: Chocolate box or bean bag or anything else easy to handle; blindfolds for participants
Group size: Any size
Duration: 15 minutes
Step-by-step instructions: The steps and rules are explained in the summary.
Reflection and evaluation questions: After the game the participants share their reflexions and feelings: how it was to effectuate tasks without sight? Was it, in their opinon different than if they did not have the blinfolds / if they could see? What about their comfort / well-being? What was the most difficult in it for them? Was there anything they enjoyed, and if yes, what was it?
