The blind folded person but listen carefully to instructions and is not allowed to touch their partner. Once the blindfolded person gets to the tree, they are going to explore the tree with the help of their partner. The partner can ask questions such as, can you hug it or feel any moss on it? Once finished exploring the tree, the partner must lead the blindfolded person back to the start. When back to the start, the blindfolded person can try and find which tree they touched.
