Description

Participants face each other in two rows.

Depending on the participants of the group, the facilitator teaches them 3-5 movements or signs that are linked to numbers: e.g. 1 - applause, 2 - toss. 3 - I LOVE YOU sign, 4 - any other known sign, sequence of movements, mini dance, etc. Together, the group practices the numbers and the movements, in a varied order. One participant goes out, in the meantime group discusses a number code and practice the sequence of movements (eg 1-4-5-3-2). After this, the participant returns, the group (pairs facing each other), showing him the sequence of movements, preferably at the same time, without the guidance of the activity leader. The participant must say the numeric code based on the order of the movements and join the pattern. If the group manages to record the same pace, dynamics, the guessing participant can get involved very easily.
