Divide the group into groups of six or seven. Tell them that they need to get from one end of the room to the other using six or seven body parts as appropriate while staying together – so if they all hop, that counts as seven body parts (one leg each).
Next ask them to cross the room using five or six body parts. Keep lowering the number of body parts and see which team can manage to cross the room using the smallest number.
You can use this as a springboard for a discussion about co-operative leadership:
- How did you make decisions. Did leaders emerge?
- Are there good ways of making group decisions?
- Are there advantages to having leaders?
- How does a good leader behave?
