The Buddy Walk Activity

Usually, people associate trust-building with corporate retreats but it is seldom realised that these activities are a great way to build trust at any age!
Here is an exciting group activity that helps instill the feeling of trust in the partner. You can do that among family members but also with friends. You don't need to have lots of pairs, even if you're only in three you can take turns in pairing with your child. Here is what you have to do:
Instructions:

Pair up, so that each person has a partner.
Place obstacles like chairs, tables, toys, etc. randomly in the place the activity will be conducted.
Blindfold one person in each pair. Let the other person in the pair walk his buddy safely through the obstacles to the other side.
Once the pair reaches the other side, blindfold the other partner and let his partner walk him safely back to the other side.
