6. Activity!!!!!
At the end of this activity you need to tell my how it falls into each of these stages
In a group of 5 people, everyone needs to be blindfolded except for one. You will all have your arms on each others shoulders.
Your goal is to take an object and put it in the basket. No talking only communicating through movement.
The person on the back will guide the group by tapping an arm, leg, or pulling back to stop.
Once you accomplished that, have the person on the front move to the back.
