Yes, Let’s! - 5-8 Minutes
Instructions:
Setup: everyone moves around the room:
One player will yell “Yes, let’s!” and the others will do that action
Examples: Give an example between the facilitators (~3 reps).
Example: “Let’s hop on one foot”
All: “Hop on one foot”
Note here that people should accommodate. If you can’t hop on one foot, how might you similulate it within your ability?
Example; “Let scuba dive”
All: “Do things that make you pretend to be a scuba diver”
Start: Everyone moves around the room:
Participants are encouraged to call out a new exercise when it’s gone too far
After a while, facilitator may encourage people to change activity faster
Note:
If an activity seems unsafe or crosses boundaries call pause or for a new one and remind people of why
If an activity seems difficult to do or dangerous, side coach:
“Do a hand stand”
“How can we simulate that without touching or actually doing the hand stand? Pretend we’re a character who is doing the thing we couldn’t do
