The aim of the game?
- Guiding the blind by the sound of his voice
- Move around blindfolded and retrieve an object
In pairs, the blind must find their scarf and follow the guide's voice, then bring the scarf back to the starting line.
The guide will show him the way to get to the scarf as quickly as possible.
The guide is not allowed to pass the studs in front of him, and guides the blind person by voice.
Make several pairs and duplicate the course as many times as you can (depending on your equipment). To avoid waiting too long for the other children.
