Instructions

• A blindfolded person shoots a basket with the help of their team. It is up to the blindfolded person’s teammates to communicate with them so that their throws from roughly 5m away are as accurate as possible since the person can’t see the target. You can make the activity competitive by creating different groups within your team, timing them for four quarters, and keeping score. After the activity, discuss how challenging it is for the blindfolded person to succeed without the vocal assistance of their teammates. Then relate the activity back to how your team needs to communicate on the court/field to help each other better see what is happening.
