Team challenges

Human snake

A line of blindfolded players, guided through an obstacle course only by the one at the back who can see. Taps on shoulders replace words.

Players
6–20, teams of 4–6
Time
15–20 min

What you need

  • Blindfolds or scarves
  • Soft obstacles: chairs, bins, cones

How to play

  1. Teams line up, hands on the shoulders of the person in front. Everyone but the last player is blindfolded.
  2. Agree on signals: left shoulder tap turns left, right turns right, both means stop.
  3. No talking. The last player steers the snake through the course by passing signals forward.
  4. Fastest team through the course without hitting anything wins.

Office tip: Walk the course first and move anything hard or sharp. Slow is fine.
