No, you are not taking a free walking tour. You are embarking on a trust exercise!
﻿
The Trust Walk is a popular teambuilding activity that helps people practice trusting each other.  A leader guides his or her blindfolded partner around obstacles using verbal or nonverbal instructions. Below you can find some videos for inspiration. 
﻿
HOW YOU CAN DO IT?
﻿
Very simple:
1. Find an open space (e.g.park, square) that has safe limit but still some obstacles.
2. Go in pairs (or trees is your group is uneven number) and decide on the roles. One person should be the leader and the other person the follower. The later should close his/hers eyes. Use a jacket, scarf, other material.
3. Take approximately 5 minutes and "take a walk". The leader should direct the follower on where he/she should go and how (example: there is a log 3 small steps in front of you. It is about 30 cm high, so raise your foot accordingly).
4. Now, switch roles and try again. 
5. Reflect in pair and later in group.
