	Blind Association Circle
	Where are we?	Description
	This is a Game. It is in the following categories: Association Exercise Look and Listen	How it Works This one starts just like Free Association Circle : players in a circle, establish a rhythm, and freely associate on previous player's word. As this is going on, the trainer will tap all players gently on the shoulder, at 3 times: first tap: players close their eyes but continue the free association, sticking to the rhythm second tap: everyone starts walking around (carefully!), eyes still closed.Players have to recognize the voice of their ex-neighbour in the circle to know when it's their turn. Third tap: all players, still eyes closed, and still associating, try to reconstruct the circle. Exercise is over when everyone is in a circle again. Trainer should keep an eye on players to make sure they don't run into things. It helps if there's not too much clutter around, of course.
