This is a brilliant way of challenging our unconscious communication methods and think about the effectiveness of the messages we deliver. Adding in a competitive edge made it extra fun and the blindfolds shows real trust between delegates. Can be used in so many different situations and compliments the Communication Skills Course well, highly recommend!

I love this exercise! Teams do get very frustrated and competitive - but eventually (nearly always) just laugh at themselves. One of the strongest learning here is asking them why (in 99% of cases) they have the blindfolded builder have the jigsaw facing them - when it is much easier to have it put together facing you as the coach / instructor. Great at the end of a long leadership day, before breaking for the evening, I found!

I have used this exercise twice with a group of managers of mixed skills and abilities. The exercise is simple and quick, yet very powerful and the importance of communication and ensuring understanding was quickly realised by all. As well as that it was great fun. Thank you Glasstap.

Brilliant – if you have never used this activity give it a go! Exploring communication, team work and even motivation (I could go on), what great fun this activity is with so many amazing learning points. It has so many uses and an excellent activity when training delegates where English is not there first language. As an activity around clarity of verbal communication - it is excellent! If appropriate make it competitive as you will see some great things. All you need are some blind folds, similar jigsaws and teams of two and you have everything you need – give it a try!
