Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Understand and practice the Blind Man's Bluff game - Students should understand the rules and mechanics of the Blind Man's Bluff game through demonstrations and explanations. They should be able to discern the roles of the 'Blind Man' and the 'Goats' in the game, as well as the importance of respecting the rules and fellow players.

2. Develop motor coordination and spatial awareness - Through practicing Blind Man's Bluff, students should enhance coordination between body movements and spatial perception, as the 'Blind Man' will have to move in space without the aid of vision.

3. Promote interaction and respect among students - The Blind Man's Bluff game is a collective activity that requires cooperation and mutual respect. Students should learn to deal with the emotions of winning and losing, as well as the importance of respecting the space and limitations of their peers.

Introduction (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Recalling concepts - The teacher starts the lesson by reminding students about the importance of movement and play for physical and social development. He may ask questions like: 'Who remembers why it's important to play and move?' and 'Can anyone tell me a game we've already learned here in the classroom?'.

2. Problem situations - Next, the teacher proposes two situations that will introduce the theme of the lesson. The first: 'Have you ever imagined what it would be like to play without being able to see? What if the world was only sounds, smells, and touches?'. The second: 'And if, during a game, one of you had to be blindfolded, unable to see anything, while the others move around you? How do you think that would be?'.

3. Contextualization - The teacher explains that these situations are similar to what we will do in today's class. He explains that the Blind Man's Bluff game is a game in which one of the participants is blindfolded and must find the others only by touch and hearing. Additionally, he mentions that Blind Man's Bluff is a very old game and was very popular among children in the past.

4. Capturing students' attention - The teacher mentions that he himself used to play Blind Man's Bluff when he was a child and always had a lot of fun. He also reveals that Blind Man's Bluff is a game that helps develop important skills, such as concentration and spatial awareness. To conclude, he proposes a curiosity: 'Did you know that the Blind Man's Bluff game is so old that there are records of it in paintings made over 2,000 years ago?'.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

The teacher will propose different practical activities for students to understand and have fun with the Blind Man's Bluff game. The total time for this phase is flexible, depending on the pace and participation of the students. Below are three activity suggestions, and the teacher can choose the one that best suits the class:

1. Traditional Blind Man's Bluff (10 - 15 minutes)

   • All students must form a large circle in the center of the classroom space. The teacher will choose a volunteer student to be the 'Blind Man' and blindfold their eyes with a scarf.

   • The goal of the game is for the 'Blind Man' to find and touch another student in the circle, who will be called the 'Goat'.

   • The 'Blind Man' must move around the circle with arms extended, while the 'Goats' can move to avoid being touched.

   • When the 'Blind Man' touches a 'Goat', the teacher will announce the name of the touched student, and the game restarts with a new round.

   • The game continues until each student has had the opportunity to be both 'Blind Man' and 'Goat'.

2. Musical Blind Man's Bluff (10 - 15 minutes)

   • The teacher will prepare a list of various songs in advance.

   • The students will form a circle, as in the traditional game. A scarf will be given to each 'Blind Man'.

   • When the music starts playing, the students will start moving around the circle. When the music stops, everyone must stand still.

   • At this point, the 'Blind Men' must try to find and touch the nearest 'Goat'. The 'Goats' should not move, and the one who is touched will become the new 'Blind Man'.

3. Sensory Challenge Blind Man's Bluff (15 - 20 minutes)

   • The teacher will set up stations around the room with objects of different textures: cotton, plastic, wood, paper, etc.

   • The students, blindfolded and guided by the teacher, must touch each object and describe the texture they feel.

   • After exploring the stations, the students will form a large circle, and the teacher will choose a student to be the 'Blind Man'.

   • Using the same rules as Traditional Blind Man's Bluff, the 'Blind Man' must touch a 'Goat' in the circle, using the tactile information acquired during the exploration of the stations.

   • This activity helps students develop motor coordination and spatial awareness, as well as stimulate senses other than vision.

At the end of each activity, the teacher should engage in a brief conversation with the students, asking about their experiences, what they learned, and how they felt during the game. This is an opportunity to reinforce the lesson's objectives and for students to express themselves, sharing their perceptions and emotions.

Return (8 - 10 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3 - 4 minutes)

   • The teacher gathers all students in a large discussion circle. He asks questions like: 'Who here would like to share what they felt and learned during our Blind Man's Bluff games?' and 'What were the most challenging and most fun parts of the game for you?'.
   • The teacher encourages all students to participate, creating an environment of respect and active listening. He emphasizes that all experiences and feelings are valid and important.

2. Connection to Theory (3 - 4 minutes)

   • Based on the students' responses and reflections, the teacher connects to the theory. He asks: 'How do you think the Blind Man's Bluff game helps us better understand what motor coordination and spatial awareness are?'.
   • He can also ask: 'Did you notice that, for the 'Blind Man', it was important to trust others and respect their space? How does this relate to the cooperation and respect we talked about at the beginning of the lesson?'.
   • The teacher reinforces that the lesson was not just about playing but also about learning and developing important life skills, such as coordination, cooperation, and respect.

3. Final Reflection (2 - 3 minutes)

   • To conclude the lesson, the teacher proposes a moment of reflection. He asks two simple questions: 'What did you think of the Blind Man's Bluff game?' and 'What did you learn most valuable from today's lesson?'.
   • Students have a few seconds to think about the answers. Then, those who wish to can share them with the group. The teacher listens attentively and thanks everyone for their participation.

This return is a crucial step to consolidate students' learning. It allows students to express their perceptions and emotions about the lesson, as well as reinforce the concepts learned. Additionally, the teacher can obtain valuable feedback on the effectiveness of the lesson and make adjustments for the next session.

1. Content Summary (2 - 3 minutes)

   • The teacher starts the conclusion by recalling the main points covered during the lesson. He emphasizes the importance of movement and play for physical and social development.
   • He reinforces that the Blind Man's Bluff game, besides being a fun activity, helps develop skills such as motor coordination, spatial awareness, concentration, cooperation, and mutual respect.
   • The teacher mentions that during the games, students were able to experience what it would be like if the world was only sounds, smells, and touches, and how challenging and interesting it is to play without being able to see.

2. Connection to Practice and Theory (1 - 2 minutes)
