Hot Spots
Hot Spots is a relationship mapping exercise that helps participants build useful connections and understand how people, roles, or ideas relate.
How to run it
- One player at a time dribbles to a polyspot to stand on and shoot the ball.
- If the player misses the shot they gets the ball and passes it to the next player in line.
- Play continues in this manner until all of the spots are claimed.
- Players may then spread out the spots and play again.
