it all went really well. i wasn't blindfolded but i was in the front. i had to give very detailed instructions so the blindfolded person who i was leading would trust me. the way i did it was to think 'What would i want to know and how would i want to be lead if i was the one who was blindfolded?' and it helped.

I was blindfolded and I thought it was easy because my group gave good directions and had a plan of who was helping which blindfolded person. The worst part about being blindfolded was you didn't know the stability of what you were steping on, how high off the ground it was, and how long before you got to each platform, and once you got to the platform it was hard to tell if you were going to fall off. I did enjoy the activity though.

I was not there on Friday, so I am not able to write about the obstacle course. I did want to contribute to the blog though, so I'd like to thank the new kids in the class for joining our class. I don't just mean being in it, but I mean actually being a part of it and trying your best at the activities even though we do stuff differenly from your other classes. We're glad to have you guys here.

I was blindfolded...and it was actually enjoyable. For being such a clumsy person, I was terrified I would trip on something or fall off a beam and bring everyone down with me. I mean, you've probably realized just being in class with me, that I have some issues with walking in a straight line with my vision. But my group really helped me out. My biggest issue was the wall. Me being only around 5'2", I could barely reach the top of it, but they got my over and down safely. All in all, I really did enjoy this activity and can't wait for whatever we do next.

I wasn't blindfolded on friday. I thought it was a really fun activity that we did and it was challenging to get through the whole obstacle. I think it brought us back to the idea of being all together and getting through something together. Overall, I liked this activity

I think this activity went very well. I was blindfolded, and the people in my group who weren't blindfolded did a really good job with telling me what I needed to do and what was going on with the course. My groupd didn't quite get to finish the whole course; we ran out of time before we could try to get over the wall mat. Other than that I think we did great.

I wasn't blindfolded, and the activity was a lot harder than I thought it would be. As the leader of the line, I had to be very vocal and spesefic about what was going to happen next. I really liked this activity though. I had a lot of fun.

i was blindfolded and i thought that it was a fun experience. i would say that i had to trust the person that was leading me and trust that he would not let me fall! i was the first over the wall and i must say that going over the wall blind folded first was extreamly hard! but over all i loved the activity!

one suggestion that i would have not pertaining to the obstacle course would be for climbing, when we start it. if possible could we pick our own groups with your permission and approval of the group. i know that we need to trust one another in the whole class but being in a group with people that we know and trust personally i think that climbing will be a better experience. and if the groups are not working you could change the groups the way you are wanting. just a suggestion and i totally understand if you dont think that this would work!

i wasn't blindfolded.i was in the middle and it was hard because i was trying to help both of the blindfolded people and they understood what i was saying. We all got through the activity without going to the beginning. i liked this activity.

I felt really good helping the people that were blindfolded. I don't really get a chance to be in charge, and on friday I got to be in charge, and I did WELL. I don't think that I would have been able to do it blindfolded, because I have a fear of heights and i just don't think that not knowing were I was would've been good for me. holding onto the rope proved to be not as hard as I though it would be. It actually made it easier. It made us work more as a team that we would have separate. It made me feel like i needed to help the person behind me even more!

It was a lot of fun coming from one of the people that was blindfolded. It was really funny trying to get over that wall because my shoes kept falling off. I think our procedure of having the people blindfolded in the middle made it really easy.

i thought it was really fun!
i was blindfolded, and i wasn't really nervious becausei trusted my group a lot. i had not known with anyone in my group before this gym class, and it was cool to see how far we have come since first semester.

i was not blind folded, however, i was in the front of my line leading my group.
i thought it was kind of hard to try and direct the people wearing the blindfolds, especially in the ways of helping them to judge the distances to the different beams and whatnot.
but overall, i feel that my group did very well in this activity.

I really enjoyed the activity and thought it was really fun! I wasnt blindfolded but I thought it was difficult trying to direct the blinfolded people. Our group worked well together because we all trusted eachother and we got through the obstacle course no problem. Overall I thought this activity was a lot of fun.

I dont know if this will count for credit... but here goes.

I was one of the people in my group who was blindfolded. It was definetely scary because it was dark and I had no idea what we had to do. I could only rely on the people who were in my group to get me across safely. When we had to step on the wooden blocks, it was scary because i didnt know where it would lead to. Overall, it was fun!

i think that it went really well. trying to get the blindfold people across without them falling was kind of hard, but as long as they listened it went really well. i thought that it was a lot of fun.

I was not blindfolded, but the obstacle course was so much fun! I did however need to get on top of the high pole and that was really hard...but my team and I stepped it up and they got me over, and they helped the other teams so it was great

i was blindfolded, and its so weird that what we went over was so much smaller and insignificant than what we thought it was. this means that we can truly trust each other, because what we're afraid of really isn't as big and scary as we think it is.
