No. 3 Mine Field
A good exercise to build interdependence and trust is Mine Field. In a large room or outdoor field, set up a “mine field” using different stuff, such as chairs, balls, cones or boxes. You should leave enough space between objects for people to walk through. Divide the group in pairs, and put together people who don’t know each other very well, or have trust issues. Then, blindfold a person of each pair, and make him or her walk through the mine field guided only by his or her partner’s verbal directions. With only a few minutes to get through the mine field, each couple should arrive at least once to the other side.
