COLOURBLIND®, a great teambuilding tool from our friends in the UK, requires participants to wear a blindfold and hold a collection of small, irregular, colored plastic shapes. Groups work together to gather information that will allow them to solve a puzzle.
This terrific exercise was developed in 1991 for training Air Traffic Controllers in Great Britain -- where team communication is fundamental to success and where absolutely no margin for error, misunderstanding or ambiguity can be tolerated. Since then, COLOURBLIND has been used worldwide across languages, cultures and business backgrounds, to focus on the fundamental skills of great two-way communication
The challenge offers a rich experience and debrief for groups of 4 to 28. Success in the exercise demands information and group management, effective listening and questioning, plus the ability to clarify, summarize, and solicit feedback.
Get more from your group by involving their eyes, ears, minds and bodies!
