This engaging team-building math activity gets your class thinking critically about the properties of 2-D shapes. Using differentiated task cards, students will guide their blindfolded teammates to form shapes using only verbal instructions and a rope. The activity fosters collaboration, communication, and geometry skills in a fun, hands-on way.

How to play:
In teams of 4-5, all but one student is blindfolded. Each team receives a length of rope tied in a loop. The sighted player selects a task card and gives verbal instructions to the blindfolded teammates to form the shape with the rope. Once complete, they swap roles and pick another card.

For documentation: Students can take a photo of the completed shape if needed.

Materials needed:

  • Differentiated task cards
  • Length of rope (one per team)
  • Camera (optional)
