Picking the mangoes

Preparation

Look over the activity sheet one day prior so that the facilitators don’t get confused about the rules and can easily explain the game to the participants.

Implementation

Divide the participants into groups of four.

Have each group stand in a circle facing outwards with their backs to each other, and with their arms linked at the elbows.

Place a stone one meter in front of each participant.

Ask them to imagine there is one mango in front of each participant.

Ask them to pick up the rocks as quickly as possible, without letting go of the other students elbows.

And make sure all of them are silent, this activity must be completed without speaking.

Ending

Debrief the game after finishing this activity.

Encourage the participants feedback on the activity.

And show gratitude for their cooperation.

Tips and tricks for the facilitator: this game creates excitement, so it is important to specify that you must pay attention to yourself and your partner, and that it is forbidden to hit.
