You can do this by having them follow you while you very audibly say where you're going, or have them put a hand on your elbow or shoulder (while still using their canes of course) and follow you that way.

The Braille Challenge is sponsored by the Braille Institute in Los Angelis, California and regional competitions are held each year in all of the fifty states.  I have been assigned to be a sighted guide for a group of older blind students during this event.  Two other people and I are responsible for keeping track of these students and getting them around the church.  Since I am totally blind, how do I perform the sighted guide technique with these students? Hope to hear from you soon.
