Fun, Fast-Paced Circle Game With Animal Gestures - Speed Rabbit
Fun, Fast-Paced Circle Game With Animal Gestures - Speed Rabbit 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, with you standing in the middle.
- Establish a series of unique physical gestures and sounds that create the form of three animals, each involving three people. For example:
- - Elephant: one person uses their arms to create a trunk, while their two neighbours circle their arms to the side to create large ears;
- - Cow: one person interlocks fingers and turns their hands upside down to point their thumbs down, while their two neighbours each grab one of these thumbs as if milking them: and
- - Kangaroo: one person forms a pouch using their arms in front of themselves, while their two neighbours lean on this person’s closest shoulder and thump their outside legs.
- To start, randomly point to one person in the circle and call out the name of one of the three animals, and quickly count to ten.
- Immediately, this person and their two neighbours must arrange their bodies to look like the animal, making the appropriate sound, before you get to “…TEN.”
- If one of the three people in the circle makes a mistake or is too slow, the most deserving person is invited to swap positions with you in the middle of the circle.
