Instructions
A child leaves the room. The other children briefly rearrange chairs and tables. The waiting child is blindfolded by the teacher.
A second child remains at the door and now leads the 'blind' child around the room with the help of instructions. But only in whispers.
This requires a high level of attention as it is not easy to understand what is being whispered. The rest of the group must remain absolutely still.
