EVENT CALENDAR

 

Rope Grope


Time Allowance: 30 Minutes
Equipment Needed: A 50-100 foot, 1/2 inch diameter rope; one blindfold per person.
Tie rope between trees or between chairs.

Steps

1. Lay out a course with rope around trees, over limbs, through bushes and shrubs, over logs, through the grass, etc. Mark each end of the rope with a different distinctive feature. Use something with a distinctive feel, smell, or shape. Do not allow the participants to see the course.

2. Have all of the participants put on blindfolds and form a line. Everyone should grab onto the rope in front of them (lead them to one end of the rope). Tell them to find the other end of the rope by using their hands to move along the rope. No one is allowed to talk. Tell them they should go to the other end of the rope. When they have reached the other end of the rope, they are finished.
