Description

Minefield Race

Resources

 10-15 empty water bottles
 Blindfolds for team members

Instructions

1. In an open area, arrange 10-15 empty water bottles to resemble a maze.
2. A leader is selected from each team while the others are blindfolded.
3. The leader must manoeuvre her team members one by one through the maze (without touching the bottles) to the finish line.
4. The catch here is that the leader cannot use words and phrases for directions such as "take one step to the left", "one step forward" and the like.
5. The team has to sit and discuss a set of code words for each direction that is unique to them.
6. The blindfolded participants and their leader need to make sure that they know their set of code words by heart.
7. The first team to have all of its members cross the finish line, wins.
8. This game teaches presence of mind and decision-making, among other things.
9. The leader needs to decide the easiest, fastest and safest route to take her team to the end point.
