Blindfold Games

Sheep and Shepherd

For a group of up to 12. Use a large open grass space free from any obstructions or hazards. Using rope laid on the ground mark out a pen. Select one team member to be the shepherd. Everyone else will take the role of sheep. The shepherd has to get the sheep in the pen. The shepherd is to stay in one place in the centre of the field and may only clap or whistle. The sheep wear blindfolds and are scattered around the field and may only make sheep noises. Before putting blindfolds in place give the team time to plan how they are going to use these sounds to achieve the task. Allow up to 30 minutes for the activity.
