The assassin
One of the participants is secretly told by the facilitator that he or she
is an assassin. The participants form circles of up to 10 people, the
assassin amongst them. The assassin winks with one eye at a person
he/she wants to kill and if that person sees the wink she falls to the
ground in the middle of the circle. The others continue to look and try
to identify the murderer. If somebody accuses someone else falsely,
he/she is out of the game. This exercise is fun and adds informality to the
proceedings, thereby increasing communication between participants.
The bridge
The participants split into two groups and stand on chairs which are
in two rows, facing each other. Each group has one more chair than
the number of members. The task is to reach a goal line, drawn at
some distance, by passing the last chair in the line through the hands
of the group until it is placed closest to the goal line. The participants
then move one chair closer to the goal and begin moving the last chair
forward again. If somebody falls from a chair, he/she is removed and
the group must move two chairs at a time. The first group to arrive at
the goal line wins. This game energizes the participants and encourages
team work.
