A Perfect Square

4 shiney stars

This engaging group activity requires a long rope (with the ends tied together) and blindfolds for each participant.

How to Play:

  • Have the group sit in a circle and put on their blindfolds.

  • Hand them the rope and explain the challenge: without removing their blindfolds, the team must work together to form the rope into a perfect square.

  • Give them as much time as they need. Once the group agrees the square is complete, they can remove their blindfolds to see the result.

Optional Variations:

  • Restrict some participants from speaking to increase the challenge and explore non-verbal communication and leadership dynamics.

Skills and Themes Explored:

  • Leadership

  • Communication

  • Teamwork

  • Trust

 

This activity is ideal for corporate training sessions, youth groups, or any team looking to strengthen collaboration and problem-solving skills.
