Momentum
Target Themes: Self-awareness,
Supplies: Enough scraps of paper for each group member to get two
To set up the game, the facilitator must first identify how many group members are going to be involved. If the group has 20 members, the facilitator must make two sets of twenty slips of paper numbered 1-20. The facilitator should then have the group form a circle and should go around distributing the first set of labeled numbers. Group members should be told to place this number face up at their feet and ignore it. The facilitator should now distribute the second set of numbers. Group members should be told that this number signifies which member of the group they will be watching. The object of this game is to stay as still as possible while observing the designated person. Group members should also be told that if the person they are observing moves, they should mimic their movement in a slightly more exaggerated way. Once this game begins it can move quickly, so the facilitator must be prepared to set up a couple rounds!
