Form players into circles of between 6 to 10. Players should begin
shoulder to shoulder with their hands palms open in front at shoulder height.
One player moves to the centre of the circle and is told to close their eyes or
is blindfolded. The instructions are that the player in the centre is to allow
himself or herself to fall, keeping the feet together and the arms by their
side. The players forming the circle must not allow the falling body to breach
the circle; they must gently allow the body to circulate among them. Repeat
until everyone has had a go in the centre.
Blind Friends
Players pair off. Studying their partner they try to think how they
could identify each other if they met blind. They should be encouraged to touch
each other�s hair, skin, and the fabric of the each other�s clothes. After a
few minutes of exploration the players are told to close their eyes and walk in
a random direction being careful how they bump into others. Partners should be
well and truly mixed, give the order to try meet up without talking. Once
partners have been reunited they should move to the side of the room leaving
space until the final two unite. A second step is the players follow the same
procedure as above but must find their partners without using their hands.
Blind Discovery Walk
Again, players pair off. This activity takes place outside, preferably
in a garden, or enclosed area. One player closes their eyes, and is guided by
the other, who must lead the blind partner, taking them to objects that they
must try to identify. For this exercise to be effective, the person who is
blind should remain so for at least ten or fifteen minutes.
if you have space you can make a snake and ladder giant board with either chalk like the one to write on sidewalk or with the roll of paper we use for bulletin board ( i dont remember the name)
My kids love doing a color hunt, they have to find something for each color, say "This is a (red flower)" or "That is a (white cloud)" and so on and draw a picture of it. There is a worksheet in my printables if you are interested.
