Pass the Pulse
Target Themes: Our space, All Together, Building Relationships, Community
Have the group stand or sit in a circle and everyone hold hands. The object of the game is to pass a squeeze (a pulse of energy) around the circle without talking. Designate one person to start the squeeze by gently squeezing the hand of the person next to them. When someone feels their hand being squeezed, they should squeeze the hand of the person next to them. This continues until the squeeze makes it around the entire circle. Some people may get excited and squeeze too early, so you could have everyone close their eyes or face outward so they can’t see the squeeze being passed. To add an extra element of excitement, challenge the group to pass the squeeze as quickly as possible. Time the group and then try to pass it faster and faster.
