Activity guidelines The beavers are gathered on the playing area. One of them is blindfolded. As quietly as possible, the others try to approach and touch him. As soon as he hears some steps the blindfolded beaver says “Steps here” and points at the place where the sound came from. The designated beaver immediately turns into a statue. The beavers take it in turns to be blindfolded. Comments The leader should take good control of the game and ensure that the statues take their role immediately and remain statues without making any noise. It is not necessary to change roles when the blindfolded beaver is touched. Continue the activity in silence.
