Have children complete an obstacle course while blindfolded, relying on another person to guide them. Set up an obstacle course that includes a chair, a ball and a chalkboard. Split children up into groups of two and have one of them wear a blindfold. The partner must successfully guide the blindfolded player by voice until reaching the chair and sitting down, picking up the ball and drawing on the chalkboard. The guide can't touch the partner, relying entirely on spoken instructions. Once one partner finishes the course, children switch roles. For large groups, set up a few obstacle courses at once. Make it a race to see which group successfully completes the course first. This motivates children to work as a team and trust each other.
Triangle tag allows children to work in groups, while working together to protect teammates from a tagger. Separate children into groups of four. Have three of the group link hands while the fourth person stands on the outside. One member of each linked group is the person to be tagged. The group moves in unison to shield this person from the fourth person, the tagger. Switch places once the person is tagged and the game continues. Children will learn to rely on one another for protection and build good communication and teamwork skills.
Have children interview one another without speaking, like the game of charades. Divide children into pairs. Have one child in each group ask the other a question. The other child has answer the question without speaking, by miming and acting out the answer. Once the interviewer determines the answer, players switch roles. Children must pay close attention to their partner's actions to complete the interview. This game helps children get to know one another, building trust.
Children learn to trust others through this run. Children line up, form two lines and face each other. One person at the end of the line run through the middle of the two lines. Children in line quickly wave arms up and down, straight out in front, but as the runner passes, the children move their arms out of the way. Children in line have to work together, especially with children across from them, so their arms don't provide a roadblock. The runner must the children in the line. Once a runner completes the course and joins the line, the child at the front of the line proceeds.
