Five team members are outside a room. Four members go inside and one waits outside, blindfolded. The four members inside the room remove one shoe and place it in a pile of other miscellaneous shoes in the center of the room. The judge(s) will mix up the pile of shoes. The fifth team member is then led into the room. The four team members line up in a row, sitting with their feet out in front of them, approximately 7 ft. from the pile of shoes. You are then given 3 minutes for the blindfolded member to match up the right shoe to the right person.
The blindfolded member may not touch the shoes that are still on the other four members. You are not allowed to talk during the 3 minutes, and the four seated members cannot get up and physically guide the blindfolded member. You have 2 minutes to devise a communication system and 3 minutes to carry out the task. You will be given 5 points for every shoe that is pulled out of the pile that belongs to a team member, and 5 points for every correctly matched shoe.
Maximum – 40 points.
