Here is a simple but effective trust-building exercise you can use to bring teenagers together. All you need are blindfolds.
Begin by asking each teenager to partner with another teen for this game. One person in each pair is then blindfolded, with the partner serving as guide for the blindfolded person. Guides then lead their blindfolded partners on a walk, offering instruction along the way.
Examples: “Step over this board,” or, “Now I’ll be leading you up three steps.” After a few minutes of this trust walk, partners trade places.
This trust walk exercise is a meaningful way to lead into a discussion about faith, what it means to trust in Christ or even a discussion about the significance of helping each other. There are many possibilities with this one.
