Hilarious Circle Game for Laughter & Quick Reactions - King Frog
Hilarious Circle Game for Laughter & Quick Reactions - King Frog is a circle dialogue exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Sit in a circle, including yourself, where everyone can see everyone else.
- Each person thinks of a unique action and sound that mimics an animal, eg gorilla beating its chest.
- In turn, rotate around the circle to introduce everyone’s gesture and sound, starting with you.
- As leader, introduce yourself as King Frog, as you move one palm swiftly over the palm of your other hand away from you (as if a frog was jumping off a lily pad.)
- Mimic the gesture and sound of each animal as they are introduced around the circle, one at a time.
- Each round starts with King Frog performing their action, followed immediately by the gesture and sound of another animal.
- This will instruct the person who is represented by that (second) animal to respond by quickly doing their action and follow it with the actions of another animal, and so on.
- Encourage your group to maintain the rhythm of the gestures and sounds as quickly and accurately as possible.
- King Frog Hilarious circle game to spark laughter & quick thinking.
