Fast-Paced Group Game With Elimination & Fun - Tweener
Fast-Paced Group Game With Elimination & Fun - Tweener is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Form a circle facing in with the feet of each person shoulder-width apart and touching the feet of their neighbours.
- Announce that the space between each person’s legs is their own ‘goal’ to protect.
- Challenge each player to prevent goals from being scored through their legs.
- To start, hit the inflatable ball to the other side of the circle.
- Explain that all hits of the ball must be with the palm of one’s hand, ie not clenched fists.
- When a goal is scored - the ball passes between someone’s legs - invite everyone to instantaneously call “GOOOOAAAALLLL” as if watching a World Cup soccer match.
- As a penalty, every time a person has a goal scored against them, they will put one arm behind their back, ie it cannot be used to defend their goal.
- A person may continue to play the game with both arms behind their back (but possibly not for much longer.)
