How to play
Set up an obstacle course about 10 metres long using chairs, tables or other objects, keeping it safe enough for somebody blindfolded to walk through. Divide into pairs. One person wears a blindfold, the other guides them through using words only, with no touching. Swap over so both partners get a turn. Either time each pair, or set up two identical courses and race them head to head. Goal is to finish without touching any obstacles as quickly as possible.
