Expect tons of mistakes, confusion and laughter galore – and that’s exactly what you want.īut wait, there’s more… try one of the fun ideas described in the Variations tab below. Whoooahh… just typing this out is doing my head in! You may need to say this a few times for it to sink in. This time announce “SAY THE OPPOSITE of what I say, and DO what I say.” Get it?įor example, if I say “Jump In,” the group says “Jump Out” as they literally jump into the circle. Not! There is always a few people who move to their ‘other left’ (or right) or just simply get confused, causing the circle to crinkle.Īfter 20-30 seconds of this first ‘introductory’ level challenge, re-form the circle, and announce that you now want to move to the next (more interesting) level. The aim is for each person (the group) to repeat exactly what you say, at the same time they are copying what you have asked them to ‘do.’ Pretty simple, you’d think. Next, you practice a few rounds, by calling one of four commands – “JUMP IN,” “JUMP OUT,” “JUMP LEFT” or “JUMP RIGHT.” I promise you, this Jump In Jump Out game WILL cause your group to laugh out loud.Īsk your group to form a circle, holding hands facing the centre, you included. You then explain that you want the group to …”SAY what I say, and DO what I say.” This exercise is almost impossible not to mess-up – which is the whole point. (people continue playing Jump In Jump Out game) How To Play Narrative Alright, so say what I say, but do the opposite of what I say. Just whatever you have been doing Tom works. ![]() Say what I say, but do the opposite of what I say. Jump left (jump right).Īlright, say what I say, but do the opposite of what I say. Say the opposite of what I say, but do what I say. Jump right (Jump left, lots of laughter). (Can you say that one more time?) Say the opposite of what I say, but do what I say. So say the opposite of what I say, but do what I say. Did I mention to you that this activity really messes with my head. Now I want you to say the opposite of what I say. Say what I say, and do what I say.įor example, jump left (jump left). But in fact there is just two things, and that is I want you to say what I say and to do what I say. There is only four things that I invite you as a group to do whilst your holding hands. First of all it is only going to involve jumping, and you are going to jump to you left, so its just a to jump to your left, or jump to your right, you’ll jump in, or you’ll jump out. Now let me give you a couple of things to do. Is that good for you, how about you? Regardless of what the situation is. As we are going to fight over which way we are going to do this, but I’ll go this way. It is difficult for me as I am between two guys. So now you know which way works for you or not. That is stereotypically the men’s position.Īlternatively, like my right hand I am now in the ladies position, where I am a giver, my palm is facing forward. Stereotypically, men tend to be takers, which means, like Jamie’s left hand his palm is facing backwards. What you have discovered is the stereotypical way of doing it. Try it the other way so your palm faces the other direction. ![]() It is that you are either feeling comfortable because of the way your hand is oriented or you’re not. So at this point you have probably recognised a category that you are in. Imagine hundred and twenty of them, big field. Hundred and twenty of them formed a circle by holding hands first of all.
