The show of hands game
Preparation: 5 min
Time required: 10 min
Ask all participants to stand in a circle with their backs to each other and close their eyes. Emphasize that there are no right or wrong answers.
Then say one statement at a time as below and ask participants to raise their hand if they feel the statement applies to them.
Raise a hand
Let’s play the show of hands!
I will make a statement and you should raise your hand if you feel the statement applies to you.
It doesn’t matter what you answer, nothing is right or wrong. The idea of the game is to give you a few minutes to feel how you feel today and find focus for the next activity/training.
You can always come and talk to me after the game or activity if you want.
