Here I sit, with my friend .... (5 mins)
GoalsThis game will get the group focused and energetic and also help everyone feel good about being in the group.
Guidelines
Tell the group to sit in a circle with one extra empty chair placed in the circle.
Tell the person to the right of the empty chair to begin the game. They move into the empty chair saying, “Here I sit”. The person to his right then follows into the new empty chair, saying, “In this chair”. The person to his right then also follows into the empty seat, saying, “With my friend……” and calls the name of anyone in the group. The person who is then called gets up and runs to fill the empty chair.
Tip: To get started lead one round yourself so everyone understands how to move.
Now the round starts again. There is a new empty chair in the circle. One of the people beside the empty chair (whoever is quicker) must move into this empty chair saying "Here I sit", starting the cycle again
Tip:This game is most fun when the pace is quick and lively.
