-Guess Who (have one person stand in front of the blind folded person. The tester feels the face of the other person and tries to guess who it is.)

-Senses Stations
* What's that? Have 5 things to touch for tester to touch and guess what it is

* do you know the sound? ( Have a cd,tape or iPod with recorded sounds have an assistant push play and record testers guesses)

*smell and taste
( have three assistants. First gives tester food. Second holds scent to testers nose. Third records the guesses of the tester. Examples eat apples while smelling onion powder tester believes apple is an onion. Or eat skittle while smelling mint tester will believe it is a chewy peppermint. Etc just keep your mind open and test before you do the food and scent at the activity.)

-Colring table -- have crayons set up in buckets. Have entire table covered with butcher paper. Let people color while blind folded. Replace paper for each group.

-cookie decorating give each person a cookie on a plate. Have frosting, sprinkles etc in bowls. Have people decorate cookie while blind folded. Then have people eat creations(if they want to)
