Warm up games

       
 

'General Election'
All players sit in a circle facing one person stood in the centre.

The aim for this individual is to talk their way out of the centre of the circle.

The person stood in the centre asks the participants a question e.g 'Does anyone have brown hair?' - Those who do have brown hair must change places. There is always one chair short and so the group is left again with one person standing.

This person must again talk themselves out of the circle e.g 'Does anyone watch Eastenders?'

After about 5 questions ask the people in the middle to develop questions which express belief e.g 'Anyone who believes in affordable housing' 'Anyone who believes in equal rights'….

This is the ultimate aim of the game.
If a player can't think of a question or wants to promote a total change they can call for a 'General Election'. Now all players must change places at the same time

   
       
 

More warm up games this way
