Circle of Friends

Potential Theme/Length of game: Warming up,sharing your voice,confidence,problem solving;15-30 minutes

Organization/Rules: Players are in a circle. A few players run to the middle,touch the cone in the middle,change directions and find an outside players. They greet the outside player; take their place on the outside and the outside player runs to the middle to find a different player.The excercise continually change (high knees,side -shuffle,skipping,pretending to be an animal,etc.).

Sample Discussion Questions: Why do we play in a circle? What is diferent playing in a circle than in lines? How can we fix the game if it slows down because less people are in the middle? Why are we using our voice? What van we do to keep the circle even and closed at all times? What are you learning about each other,about your community?

Possible Progressions/Variations:Players jump or do different actions in the middle when they get to the cone. Introduce themselves (favorite food, favorite superpower,role model,etc.) and do fun greeting ( funny dance,favorite animal noise,etc.) on the outside.You can make the exchange themed:sexual health(i.e.healthy/unhealthy choices),child rights,women's right,leadership qualities,social issues and solutions,etc.

Circle of Friends - Partners

Organization/Rules: Now,players find a partner when they run to the middle. When they reach an outside one player one person stays and the other person forms a new pair with the outside player.Example of excercise to do as partners: running or hopping while holding hands,touching each other with different body parts,can only have a total of two feet on the ground (finding as many solutions as possible),etc.

Sample Discussion Questions: What was different when playing with a partner? How did you decided which direction to take? How did you and your partner come up with ideas? How did it feel leading /follwing someone? How many different solutions did you come up with for staying connectes?How do you think that relates to life in your community?

Possible Progressions/Variations: Can play with one player being the leader and the other player is coping everything the leader does.
