Colourblind I

Colourblind Training Game. Can a team identify the colour and shape of these objects whilst wearing a blindfold? Fun game involving communication and problem solving.

Colourblind is a group exercise that neatly replicates the periodic confusion and loss of vision often experienced in our workplaces.

A practical exercise in verbal communication, which demonstrates effectively the enormous and fascinating variety of strategies which individuals use to make sense of their worlds.

Colourblind explores how perceptions are presented, how meaning comes to be shared between individuals and groups and how organisational strategies are developed to account for the wide range of individual thinking and learning styles.
    
Colourblind is a challenging, entertaining and innovative exercise, portable enough to be carried in a briefcase, simple to set up in the smallest or most formal of training environments and with an enormous variety of applications.

The Colour blind game comprises 30 coloured plastic shapes and 12 blindfolds for participants to be blindfolded.

How It Works

The participants wear the blindfolds and the plastic shapes are spread out in front of them.

The trainer removes two of the coloured plastic shapes and the group has to establish the shape and colour of the missing shapes.

Participants may not exchange or pass the shapes between group members

The question, “What colour is this?” will be answered, correctly, as many times as it is asked. No other questions will be answered.
