Have students form a circle. Count off by 1s and 2s. Explain that the game is a challenge and discuss the concept of ‘trust.’ Designate a signal to start. Make sure students are holding hands and remember their numbers. The students hold hands and when you give the signal, the 1s lean forward and the 2s lean backward. The challenge is to keep holding hands and get balanced while half the group is leaning back and the other half forward. Once the group has managed to balance, bring them back to center and change roles. If the group has switched roles successfully, challenge them to do it with their eyes shut.
