Blindfold string trail

A rope wound through the trees becomes a trust walk: blindfolded children navigate hand-over-hand while a partner talks them round. Quiet, focused, surprisingly profound.

How it goes

1. Rig a rope route between trees at hand height — include a duck-under and a turn.
2. Pair up: one blindfolded on the rope, one walking alongside as the 'voice'.
3. Swap roles at the end; then try it silent, touch-only.
4. Circle up: what did your hands notice that your eyes usually do?
