    Lesson Plans:

    This is a great game for bringing focus and solidifying a group.

    Setup

    Ask the circle to close their eyes and take a deep breath.

    Then, any person can begin by saying "One". This will followed by another person saying "Two". This repeats until the circle reaches "Twenty".

    Rules

    If two people speak at the same time, the group must begin again from "One", after taking a deep breath and allowing a new person to begin the new attempt.

    Tips

    • Make sure that the group is not relying on "a system" (ie. just going around the circle)
    • If the group gets there quickly, it's an idea to check if they are allowing everyone to participate, and to encourage them to try again and balance with each other

    Variations

    • Instead of standing in a circle, have the players mill about the room randomly instead.
