Instructions


1. The goal of the activity is for your entire team to safely reach the other side of the maze by finding and following the one and only true path through the squares.Your group must decide how long it will take them to do this and work to beat that time.

2. Ask the participants to step one at a time onto the squares, starting with the first row of six, until the safe square (as determined by the master "safe path" sheet) is found.

3. Inform the team of a correct choice and allow the team member who found it to move on. Each person must have a chance on the grid before anyone goes twice.


4. The next choice may be any square adjacent to the safe square the team member is standing on.Team members are not allowed to skip rows or columns.The path can go in any direction.

5. If a participant steps on a square that is not part of the predetermined safe path, he or she must leave the grid along the same path in which they entered.The team will incur a time penalty of 60 additional seconds to the overall time for each incorrect exit.

6. The group cannot leave objects (breadcrumbs) on the path to mark the way.

7. Once a square is determined to be off the path, it is always off the path.

8. Only one person may be on the grid at a time until the team has successfully found the correct path from beginning to end. The team may then form a line and snake along the path all at once to the finish.


Further options to consider:


Once the activity begins the team must remain behind the start of the grid (or) around the perimeter of the grid.


Participants cannot use any form of "pointing." For each instance of pointing, by hand, head or foot, the team will incur a 15 second penalty to be added to the overall time.
