MIneField

How Do You Play the Mine Field Teambuilding Activity?
Setup
Find a good outdoor field or large indoor space.  Be sure there are no dangerous items or hazards nearby.  Set up the “minefield” by placing “gems” (the items from your advisory bag) in many places all over the space.
Add things you don't want them to pick up too, "mines," (items you find around your room).
 

Once the minefield is set up, divide players into pairs.  Create pairs carefully.  In each pair, one person will be blindfolded and will be not allowed to see or talk.  The other person is allowed to see and talk, but is not allowed to touch the other person or enter the minefield.  Have each pair decide which role they want to play and distribute blindfolds.

Playing the Mine Field Game
As you lead the activity, try to inspire the players and emphasize the importance of trust and safety.

 ~Promote a serious environment.~

The goal is for each blindfolded person to get from one side of the field to the other.  He or she must safely avoid touching the “mines,” by carefully listening to the verbal guidance of their partners. They need to pick up all the "gems" by the time they get across the field.

You can set up rules like, If you touch a mine you start over or if you miss a gem you have to send your partner to go get, etc.
