• They are entrusted to find out the month everyone was born and then put themselves in chronological order.

Instructions
1. Ask all the girls to stand in a straight line.
2. Number them 1, 2 and so on until all girls have a number.
3. Explain for this activity group one is blind and hand them a blindfold each. (or use their neckerchief) Ask them to put them on.
4. Group two are unable to speak.
5. Explain that they need to find out the month that each of them was born and put themselves in chronological order e.g. January, February, March and so on until December.
