Description

This game focuses on trust and listening.

• One student is blindfolded, and sits in a chair in the centre of the circle.
• The facilitator silently selects a student from the circle to stand behind this person. They say “Greetings, your Majesty.” They must recognisably say those words, but they can do anything they want to disguise their voice.
• The person in the chair tries to guess who has approached them.
• This game is good for calming down the energy in the room before a listening activity. You could use named lollipop sticks to randomly select children to take part.
  
• Variation:
• Simplify the game by changing the sentence (“Hello your majesty” for example).
• If someone is blindfolded who doesn’t know the names of others in the room, ask the person who has spoken to sit back in the circle. Remove the blindfold from the person in the middle and ask them to point to the person they think approached them.
  
• Rules:
• The blindfolded person has up to three guesses;
• If they are correct they stay ‘on’ until they incorrectly guess someone;
• If they are incorrect, the person who approached is blindfolded and sits in the chair
