Activity Execution:
• Blindfold all team members except the designated leader

• Team members must actively listen, communicate, and coordinate to assemble the tent
• Encourage the leader to provide clear, concise, and effective instructions
• Facilitate trust, patience, and cooperation within the teams
Scoring and Evaluation:
• Evaluate teams based on their ability to successfully pitch the tent
• Consider additional criteria such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time taken
• Introduce a scoring system (e.g., time-based, quality-based) for competitive scenarios
