Implementation
Welcome participants to the activity.
Have the participants stand in a circle.
Ask all the participants to keep some space between themselves to avoid collision.
Step forward with a particular sound and movement (for example say “Helloooo” with a happy voice and gesture).
Ask the whole group to imitate exactly what you just did. Emphasis on “repeat exactly”.
Continue with a new leader. The leader must show clear movements, or the rest of the group will have difficulty repeating exactly.
Steps to continue
Use the parachute: ask a volunteer to move the parachute as he/she wants while making any sound he/she wishes to make which the group has to repeat exactly.
The leader can go in the middle of the circle or remain in the circle.
This game can also be done with names. The leader has to say his name and perform a movement at the same time.
Tips and tricks for the facilitator: this game engages the body so it is important to start with the facilitator. He/She will bring energy to the activity and inspire the participants.
