The experience
Trust and communication in guiding a blindfolded partner along a course
Working in pairs, blindfolded participants are led on a walk around the surrounding area or a course by their partners. This is great activity for focusing on communication skills and developing trust.
During this activity, one person will be blindfolded, the other sighted. The sighted person will take their blindfolded partner on a journey for five minutes using the space around them. Once they have completed the five minutes, they will then swap roles.
What the team can practise
Listen before guiding
Pause for a teammate's response instead of assuming that the instruction was clear.
Respect the pace
Check readiness and let the group coordinate each move around the person doing the task.
Encourage without pressure
Offer steady support while respecting each participant's choices and comfort level.
Share leadership
Let responsibility move between people so that more than one voice can guide the group.
Notice reliable support
Discuss which actions helped Trust Walk feel more coordinated and inclusive.

Beyond the activity
What teams can take from the Trust Walk session
The Trust Walk task makes support observable through a clear cue, a careful check-in and the willingness to listen before taking the next step. The facilitator can help the group reflect on how those choices affected participation.
Carry the conversation into everyday collaboration by asking how colleagues give direction, confirm understanding and respond when someone signals that they need help or a different pace.
