CIRCLE SIT Equipment: none
Concept: Cooperation
Objective: To have everyone sitting on each other’s laps in a circle
Task: Have the students get in a circle all facing one direction. The object is for everyone to sit on the person’s lap behind them without the group falling. It works if everyone sits down at the same time, but that’s the part they need to figure out for themselves. Once they have figured out how to do it, you can see how long they can hold themselves there without falling, each time trying to beat their own time.
