How it Works

Everybody in a big circle. One player starts the game by making a gesture and a sound to his right neighbor. The neighbor immediately imitates gesture and sound, then turns to his right neighbor and makes a totally different gesture and sound.

Tell players not to preconceive, ask them to throw themselves into this exercise.

Variations

  • Instead of passing the sound/gesture to your neighbor, players can pass it to any player in the circle.

  • Try the game without imitating the sound/gesture received; just have players turn around and throw a new gesture/sound to their neighbors as fast as possible.

Also known as Pass Catch.
