- All participants who answer “Yes” move across the field to a “chair” that has become empty. The participant in the middle also moves, leaving one new participant in the middle.
- Rounds continue as needed for time or participation.
- For example: “Have you ever been to London?” All participants who answer “Yes” move across the field to a “chair” that has become empty.
