The Machine - Project of How
You keep repeating the sound/movement until everyone in the group is connected, making it a giant moving noisy machine!
How to run it
- One person starts making a sound and a move- ment, eg a “woop”-sound, flapping one arm.
- The next person connects to the first part in our machine, also making a sound and a movement.
- You keep repeating the sound/movement until everyone in the group is connected, making it a giant moving noisy machine! Works best with big groups.
- Instructions One person starts making a sound and a move- ment, eg a “woop”-sound, flapping one arm.
- You keep repeating the sound/movement until everyone in the group is connected, making it a giant moving noisy machine!

Origin unverified
- Where we observed it: The strongest current observations come from Project of How; aggregators are listed as additional observations, not origin proof. (1 source observed, including Project of How.)
- What that means: we track where an exercise has been observed in public sources. We do not claim to know who created it, or how popular it is.
- No efficacy claims: appearing in this library is not a claim that the exercise is proven effective. Facilitator judgment and context decide whether it works for a given room.
- Corrections: if you have evidence of an earlier or more accurate source, read our methodology and trust boundary and tell us.
