Saw a good game tonight that I think I can use. It comes from the world of improv theatre. You get everyone to stand in a circle. Person #1 turns to #2 and makes a strange sound accompanied by a gesture. Person #2 mirrors the gesture back to #1 and then turns to Person #3 and shows them their own new gesture with weird sound.
Around the circle it goes until it comes all the way back.
Try this game; I mean, just try it. Here is what I found. It is so easy to forget to mirror back the first gesture and sound that is offered to you.
How I Would Use This
Communication. We are very good and jumping in with our words and ideas and often neglect to even listen to the person who is talking to us. In this activity, we HAVE to acknowledge their sound and gesture before continuing on to our own. Kinda like group input.
