Take a blinded tour. Pairs take turns leading each other on a blindfolded exploration of the natural world and take stock of their surroundings using their remaining senses. After the tour, pupils try to map their paths and follow them without the blindfold. The class finishes with a discussion on how well they created their paths and share their favorite impressions along the way.
