After a defined number of rounds, the teacher proceeds to count all the collected score.<\/p>\n<h6>How did the teachers implement the activity?<\/h6>\n<p>\u00a0Teachers implemented the activity during 2 subjects:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Physical Education:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The activity helped to teach tolerance and respect of the others: it has been useful to introduce the concept of trust and listening to each other, cooperating in a team, understanding that a team is as strong as its weakest member.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>Class education:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The activity was used to introduce the topic \u201cMe and the others\u201d: it has been crucial to raise and explain empathy to the other students.<\/p>\n<h6>How did students react to the activity?<\/h6>\n<p>Yes, it was interesting for the students. They acted with enthusiasm and understood better the concept of being cooperative with each other.<\/p>\n<h6>Other comments:<\/h6>\n<p>\u00a0The activity is very easy to be implemented, but it is necessary to take into consideration the number of students: if several teams are running at the same time, it can be hard to hear the instruction given by each team. Thus, a slight chaos can interfere with the method&#8217;s goal. Moreover, it is better if the working groups are not very close to each other. Some students wanted to watch the work of other groups and even intervene. It is important to monitor the competitiveness that can be generated by the activity dynamic.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">For specific information on this activity, download the worksheet:<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/drop-in.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-blind-dumb-lame.pdf&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Download&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#af549c&#8221; button_bg_size=&#8221;contain&#8221; button_bg_position=&#8221;top_center&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Slackey||on||||||&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;25px||||false|false&#8221; button_text_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_styles__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_scale__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_translate__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_rotate__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_skew__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; transform_origin__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; background_layout__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_css_main_element__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(255,255,255,0)&#8221; transform_scale__hover=&#8221;196%|196%&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General objective To give a \u201cphysical\u201d sense of being different than usual and to create conditions for a discussion about equality, equal opportunities for everyone.
