Minefield: Learning about TEAMWORK

The children participated in the activity 'Minefield'. Minefield is an activity that teaches children to listen to their partner as they direct them through a series of obstacles while blindfolded.
The obstacles in front of the children were many cones spread out as 'mines'. Each child had the opportunity to be the blinfolded person and the leader.

Some children were listening to their partners yelling 'Left, Left', while moving 'RIGHT'. Note to self: Teach children their left and right.
It was also funny seeing the children pulling and pushing their partners through the course. The task was to direct them using their voice and clear instructions.
Worst of all, was the leaders using hand signals to tell their blindfolded partner where to go. They can not see your hands.

 Ellie ensuring Emily is on track.

 Christian directing his blindfolded partner with his hand. Ummm

Luke is very focused on ensuring William is dodging the mines.

To conclude the lesson, we finished having relays. Here are some of the photos from the races.
