Circle Energiser Game That Creates Group Laughter - Dinosaur Game
Circle Energiser Game That Creates Group Laughter - Dinosaur Game is a circle dialogue exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Form a circle and hold hands, including yourself.
- By way of demonstration, begin by passing a wave, ie up and down movement of your arm, which will cause your neighbour’s arm to also move.
- Encourage this ‘wave’ motion to be passed all the way around the circle, and then pass it in the opposite direction.
- Next, the wave can be passed in any direction by any person when the wave reaches them (practice this for a few moments.)
- Finally, any time the wave is passed, the person initiating the wave must voice a ridiculous dinosaur noise, without showing their teeth.
- The goal is to make the person receiving the wave to laugh and show their teeth.
- At any time, if the sender or receiver of the wave and dinosaur sound show their teeth, they are eliminated from the circle, and assume the role of a ‘distracter.’
- Distractors are entitled to do whatever they can to distract others and possibly make them laugh, without touching or obscuring the view of anyone in the circle.
- Dinosaur Game Circle energiser game to generate laughter & boost group spirit.
