At a Youth Club meeting...

At a Youth Club meeting one week, we set a six-foot long 2 x 4 board on the floor. Then, one at a time, the children were asked to close their eyes and try to make it across to the other end of the board without falling off. Of course, just about no one was able to do that.
On a second try, each child was given two helpers to hold on to. The helpers could tell them if they were putting their feet in the right place. When the children did it that way, they were all able to make it across to the other end without any problem.
