What would it look like if you had to search for treasure blindfolded?

Inspired by tactile paving and way-finding can we help our friends find treasure?

You will need:

1. Discarded tiles (guest teacher will bring)

2. Textured items such as sticks, stones, paper balls, seeds, cloth, plastic containers

3. Tape / glue

   Intro Activity

   1. Tactile exercise - feel the provided textures and try to distinguish one from another.

   2. With the materials provided how would you communicate the following?

• Simple directions - left / right / front / back

• Danger

• Treasure!

Group activity

Outdoors. 2-3 teams, depending on attendance

Create a path to help the other team find treasure using the materials provided. Teams start from different locations but all should lead to the same ‘treasure’.

How would you communicate the following?

• Simple directions - left / right / front / back

• Treasure!
