Drama Game: Walking Blind (Trust Exercise #1)

Type: Ensemble Building.

Purpose:

Encourage comfortability among the group.

Encourage trust.

Procedure:

This is a silent activity.

Students work in pairs.

Partner 1 is instructed to close their eyes as partner 2 leads them around the space.

Partner 2’s goal is to make their partner feel as safe as possible. They must determine what is
best for their partner (without talking) – walking with both hands held, one hand held, arm
around shoulder, etc.

Let them wander for 2 minutes or so, keeping their movement slow at all times. Switch.

Reflection:

How did you make your partner feel safe? What did your partner do that made you feel safe?
