Given: Blindfold, masking tape, a basket, various objects (pencils, ping pong balls, ruler, etc.)
Team members must design a non-verbal direction system to be used to guide one teammate, who is blindfolded, through a maze. The blindfolded team member must also pick up various objects and carry them to the finish area. You may use the basket for easier carrying. One team member must be chosen as the guide and may not pull or push the person in any direction or turn their body to face in any direction. You have 5 minutes to design the communication system and 5 minutes to go through the maze.
Judges only: Map out a course on the floor using masking tape, include several turns. Place objects on the course to be retrieved by the blindfolded team member.
Scoring: 20 points for creativity – deduct one point for each object left behind, 10 points for quickness in completing the maze in 1-2 minutes, 7 points for 3-4 minutes and 5 points for 5 minutes. Point level and time may be adjusted for a larger course or more objects.
