Building Relationships: Circle of Trust

Image

Another quick and fun trust building activity.

Everyone in the class needs to stand in a circle.  They should put their hands on the shoulders of the person on their right.  This way everybody should be linked.

The goal is to sit down all at the same time.  Everyone will end up sitting on the knees of the person behind them.  Believe it or not, the pressure will be distributed equally throughout the circle and nobody will fall over (actually it may take a try or two as sometimes somone won’t sit down at the same time as everyone else and upset the balance :) ).

    Nick, another great circle game is to have the group put their heads down and try to count to ten – without two people saying a number at the same time.

    It sounds really simple… but try it.

    It creates an atmosphere conducive to listeningin group that is just magical.
