Fast-Paced Community-Building Game - Do You Love Your Neighbour
Fast-Paced Community-Building Game - Do You Love Your Neighbour is a relationship mapping exercise that helps participants build useful connections and understand how people, roles, or ideas relate.
How to run it
- Form a circle sitting in chairs, facing into the centre.
- Nominate yourself to be the first Asker, standing in the centre of the circle (without a seat.)
- The Asker will approach any random person in the circle (called the Responder) and ask them “DO YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOURS?”
- The Responder will reply in one of two ways:
- - “NO” - each of their two neighbours (seated left and right of them) must vacate their seats and attempt to quickly move into the other neighbour’s seat; or
- On all occasions, regardless of the response, the Asker will attempt to fill a vacated seat.
- Once all seats have been re-filled, the person without a seat will become the new Asker and approach a new Responder.
