Zero 1, 2, 3
Zero 1, 2, 3 is a structured group exercise for constructive conflict: it helps participants surface tension or disagreement in a structured way.
How to run it
- Divide everyone into groups of four to ten, depending on the number of available ropes and skill level.
- Younger players may need smaller groups, older jumpers are challenged by larger groups.
- The leader assigns two turners in each group and the rest form a line.
- The two turners begin by turning the rope.
- One-by-one the players enter and exit the rope.
- In the first round, the jumpers try to run under the rope without jumping or touching the rope.
- After each jumper’s attempt or completion, s/he returns to the back of the line.
