4 or more

Resources

Materials
2 coins for each pair
A bucket, box or garbage can
Masking tape or chalk to outline a circle

Instructions

Place a large bucket, box, or garbage can in the center of a circle that has been marked off with tape and have participants get into pairs. Give each pair two quarters and have them stand on the outside of the circle. One person must tip their head back and place one quarter over each of their eyes. Their partner then verbally directs them as they try to walk toward the bucket in the center of the circle and drop their money into it. If they drop their money before getting to the bucket or don't make it into the bucket, they must pick the money up, go back to the edge of the circle, and start over. Do at least two rounds of this game, giving each person the chance to be in both roles.
Discussion Prompts
1. Did you trust your partner? Why or why not?
2. Was it harder to give directions or to receive them? Why?
3. Why are communication and trust both important parts of any partnership?
4. How well do you communicate and how much are you trusted? Are these two elements related?
5. Are you ever "blinded" by money? How?
