This activity promotes:

• Teambuilding
• Understanding and accepting each other
• Many more…

Instructions

Time: 10 – 20 min.

Participants: 6 or more

Inside and outside

Active

Required materials

A tire or hoop for each participant (and maybe yourself).

Arrangement

Put the tires in a wide circle, approximately 2m from each other. In case you have a very big group, put the tires closer to each other. One tire lays in the middle. Give instructions while everybody is standing in his/her tire.

How it works

• The person in the middle says “Have you ever….<names an activity such as “flying”>
• The condition is that this person needs to have done this activity himself.
• Everybody that has done this activity, steps out of his tire and finds another one.
• Consequently someone else steps into the tire in the middle and the game repeats itself.

Differentiation

• When the group is ready for it you can interfere and create more openness.

Evaluation

You can of course ask questions such as.

What did you learn from each other?
