Game description
To begin divide the group into small teams of 4 – 5 participants. Each team selects one child who is blindfolded. Ideally, he does not know immediately what he is in for. Each team has their own base in each of the corners of the room. They also may have their own playing field. At the centre of the playing field is a treasure. This can be an object of some chocolate. However, the straight way to the treasure is cut off. There is a hurdle course protecting the treasure. All teams start at the same time, trying to navigate their blindfolded mate through the maze all the to the treasure. For example, they are allowed, to walk in front of the blindfolded kid and give him hints by making sounds and noises. However, they are not allowed to talk. But they can cough, clap, and snap the fingers or stomping. To make it a bit easier, you can give the teams 5 minutes before the actual game to come up with a workable strategy.
Judging
The winner is the team that first reached the treasure in the middle of the maze
