the concentration
The children learn to trust each other, they learn to articulate and listen carefully; they have to coordinate with their partner, otherwise the exercise will not work.
Instructions
-
A pair is chosen from the group.
-
One of the pair partners is blindfolded and led around the room by the arm of the other.
-
After about 2 minutes he is let go and has to go on alone.
-
The "seeing" partner continues to provide him with directional information. These consist only of simple commands such as "left", "right", "straight ahead" and "stop!
-
The "blind" partner remains turned away from verbal directional indications.
Tips
A child moves in a mechanical and monotonous way, like a robot. It changes direction, then always does so at a 90 degree / 180 degree angle.
