Barrier game ideas

Barriers

Create a barrier so one person cannot see what the other person is doing. You could:

  • Use a large hardback book
  • Use two single fold files, stapled together to make a Π shape
  • Use a ring binder (empty)
  • Seat children back-to-back (only really suitable for paired work)
