Divide the group into couples. Ask them who wants to close their eyes and who wants to guide the “blind” person. Give to one person the paper and to the other the scarf. Give to the participant with the closed eyes the paper with the drawing of a maze on it. The other participant has to guide their couple, giving directions, in order to get out of the maze and also trying to keep as much as possible in the lines while drawing their way out. When they are finished, ask them to describe their experience and how both members felt during the activity.
