Building trust in fellow pupils as well as the adults within a team is vitally important for individuals.

We have designed a series of exercises that gradually increase the levels of trust placed in fellow team members and the adults that are working with that team. Simple blindfolded guiding tasks are an easy way to start building the levels of trust that an individual has in their ‘buddy’ and simple tasks like these soon lead on to carefully man-aged exercises where the feeling of perceived risk is easily conquered when a person has complete trust in their fellow team members.

The progressive series of task and exercises include Blind trail, Sheep and Shepherd, Tunnel of Trust, Simple Falling Exercises , Magic Carpet, Trust Caterpillar, Tightrope Walk, Stage Dive and more.

We find that groups who have taken part in a Trust Exercises activity find it greatly benefits them and their team or class whilst taking part in Outdoor Activities as well as when they return to School.
