This is always good fun!
Divide the group into two teams and tell them that they are going to build a human pyramid. Give them about five minutes to discuss how they are going to do this.
Then get each team, in turn to build their human pyramid!
Afterwards have a discussion about tactics:
- what worked and what didn’t?
- Are there any tips they would give to other people making a human pyramid?
- Are there any safety rules that need to be honoured (like getting off when people underneath are in pain!) ?
Listening and co-operating are pretty important in this exercise. Point out that games like this encourage people to practice these skills. Can the group think of other games where they practice both physical and social skills? Do they think that games are a good way to learn such skills?
