    Categories:
    • Spontaneity
    Lesson Plans:

    Everyone counts down from 8 to 1 whilst shaking each limb (in turn) eight times: first your right hand, then right hand, then right foot, then left foot.

    You repeat the sequence again but then you count down from 4.

    You repeat this dividing by 2 every time (8,4,2,1) and after the last set of 1 you shout and strike a crazy pose

    Tips

    • Encourage participants to make eye contact with each other throughout the game to embrace the awkwardness

    Variations

    • Some play with a 5th limb AKA the butt
    • Some decrease by 1 every round instead of dividing by 2. It makes the math easier but it will take longer.
