Inclusion with Modelling Clay

Me again :). We just completed a great team building exercise around moulding a flower and a lighthouse.
In my team we had, Alexandra,Lory, Momo and Eddie. We had a mask over our eyes and were not allowed to talk. To simulate being blind and deaf.
Communication was key during this exercise. However we had to use different senses in order to communicate. Touch was our most important ability, to understand how the rest of the group was feeling. The first activity we were just told we had to build a flower. I don't think we did a bad job.
For the lighthouse we had the oportunity to look and discuss a strategy before our senses were took away. We decided to split the lighthouse into sections sharing responsibly.
Great activity when working with participants from all walks off life, for an example of role reversal.
