Blindfold Activities

Blindfolded Farmer

• For this game you will need blindfolds and carrots. The carrots need to be spread in the game area. Teams will work in pairs. One of the members will be blindfolded, while the other member will verbally guide him to the carrots. The team that collects the most carrots wins. Ideally, there must two rounds of this game, so every person in each team gets a turn at being blindfolded.

Blindfolds Line Up

• For this activity, every person in the group must be blindfolded, except the referee. The purpose of this activity is to have everyone line up in height order without actually seeing how tall the rest of the people are. The game can also be arranged to have the people line up in alphabetical order, using their first names.

Minefield

• Similar to the Blindfolded Farmer, this game is played in pairs. Lay a large number of soft objects to be avoided on a grassed area and place soft objects to be retrieved. One of the persons in the team must be blindfolded, while the other one guides him verbally. The targets must be retrieved without touching any of the "mines."

Voice in the Dark

• Only one person in the group will wear the blindfold while sitting on a chair. The rest of the group will take turns to walk up to the blindfolded person and say anything in a disguised voice for 30 seconds. The group member on the chair needs to guess who is speaking. If she guesses right, she swaps places with that person.
