An exciting team-building activity that focuses on trust, communication, and collaboration. Teams work together to build a tent, but there’s a twist—half the team members are blindfolded while the others guide them. It’s a powerful and fun way to learn empathy, leadership, and teamwork while facing an engaging challenge.
The host kicks off with a warm welcome and quick icebreakers to set the tone. Teams are formed and introduced to a tent-building challenge that’s all about teamwork and trust.
Each team is briefed: half the members will be blindfolded while the others guide them to pitch the tent. Clear communication and calm instructions will be key to making it work.
As the challenge begins, blindfolded teammates rely on guidance to assemble the tent. Midway through, the unexpected twist drops — roles are reversed. What starts as a task becomes a deep lesson in empathy and perspective.
Teams reflect on how they led and followed through the blindfolded chaos. Key takeaways include empathy, role-switching, and how good communication builds real trust.
The tents are up and lessons are clear. Teams leave with a stronger sense of connection and a new appreciation for each other’s challenges, both on the field and off.
