FACILITATOR NOTES

Mix the reflection circle into the game and do a mini reflection after each round. The experience of each leader and learner will be quite different; and there may be interesting learnings from each.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Make a circle (square/rectangle/ triangle)
  • Ask one player – “A" to leave the room.
  • Decide on a leader from the learners in the circle. They will make a simple pattern of claps/ leg movements / finger clicks that everyone else will follow.
  • Invite the learners in the circle to follow the leaders' action and then invite - “A” to return to the room.
  • When "A” will return, “A" will stand in the middle of the circle and try to point out who the leader is.
  • The leader must change the pattern while “A” is in the middle. Everyone elseshould try to hide the leader by copying as closely as possible and not staring at the leader.
  • “A” has three tries to guess. Coach them gently if they are having trouble.
  • Play a couple of times with different volunteers. The leader can vary themovements as the game goes on.
