- With your patrol or unit, try doing ‘drawings in the dark’. Turn off the lights and try drawing a house, a tree, a person – see who can do the best in the dark
- Try walking around the hall with your eyes closed, using a long stick to tap in front of you. Can you become more confident doing this?

- After reading a passage from a book, re-tell that passage in sign language
