How it Works

Excellent exercise to get to know each other, and to learn to trust and touch each other. 5 volunteers. 4 of these must try and hide the fifth person, using nothing but their bodies. The other students stand around the group and try and see pieces of the fifth's clothes, shoes, skin.

It's great fun for the other students to watch and try and find uncovered pieces of person. Don't tell them they go next, with one person less.

Variations

Try this game with less and less 'hiders'. If the task becomes impossible, tell them they can use parts of walls. Using a corner is easiest, of course, but let them figure that out themselves.
