Group Size & Age
10-60 person, 13 age plus
1. Tell the group that in this game there are nine "points" where the body can touch the ground: 2 feet, 2 hands, 2 elbows, 2 knees, 1 forehead.
2. Tell the participants to stand scattered in the center of the room. Call out a number between 1 and 9 and participants try to touch the floor with that number of points. Repeat this two more times.
3. Tell the group to find a partner each. Call out a number between 2 and 18. The pairs work together to touch the floor with the correct number of dots. Repeat this two more times.
4. Repeat the round with groups of 4, 8 and then 16 until everyone has worked together.
Tips for the facilitator:
-You can tell the group that they can speak or only communicate through sign language.
-When four people play, the lowest number can be two, in which case two people carry the other two people on one leg!
-When playing with four people, the lowest practical number is four (the highest number is 4 X 9 = 36).
-The highest number called out in each round should not be more than 9 times the number of people in the group!
