Blindfolded Connect 4


So Connect 4 is one of my favorite games. What's not to love? It's simple so anyone can play it but the strategy involved makes it a mind game. Today in the Underground, I had the kids try something new... Connect 4... BLINDFOLDED.

We did it two ways. In one version, the blindfolded youth had a teammate who could tell them where to move but not help them by guiding their hand. They had to listen to the voice pretty close. The other way, they were on their own and it was sensory memory and luck that led to a win. Fun stuff.

I wanted to see if the game part worked. I'll build on this sometime for a lesson. I think it could be debriefed like a trust walk. The whole idea of having to listen to a voice... the voice telling you the right thing to do instead of all of the other distracting voices.

I love it - when I saw your tweet, I laughed out loud. Now seeing the picture I think it's hilarious. Thanks for sharing Sara and for your ministry with the kids.
