Materials: a set of keys (or any other small object recognizable by touch), a scarf or blindfold
Description: One at a time, students are blindfolded, while the teacher places the set of keys somewhere in the room. I usually write the key vocabulary on the board (turn left, go straight, turn right) and the rest of the class gives directions to the blindfolded student to help them find the keys. Once they get the idea, I start making it harder, and adding words like “up high” or “down low.” It works best with smaller classes – you want everyone to have a turn, but some students might lose interest and start causing trouble if it’s not their turn.
