Power cable<br />

One participant volunteers to leave the room. The others form a circle<br />

which symbolizes a power cable with one blank end which the person<br />

outside has to discover. The person outside is called in and asked to<br />

touch the heads of people to detect which one is the end of the power<br />

cable. She is told to concentrate completely on detecting the end. It is<br />

agreed by the group before the volunteer returns that when a certain<br />

number of heads are touched, the whole group will scream. The<br />

moment she touches the sixth head, for example, she gets a real shock!<br />

This exercise makes the group concentrate on one objective. Since it can be<br />

quite shocking to the volunteer, his or her heart condition should be queried<br />

first!<br />

Simon says...<br />

All stand in a circle. The facilitator says: "Simon says, -eg. touch your<br />

nose with your left hand, hold up two hands, form a fist", etc.,<br />

demonstrating the action at the same time. Everyone is asked to follow<br />

the orders as demonstrated. But if the facilitator does not mention<br />

"Simon", and some participants follow the orders anyway, those<br />

participants are out of the game. The game goes on until only a few<br />

participants are left and the facilitator cannot trick them any longer.<br />

This exercise increases concentration and energizes the group for the next<br />

task at hand.<br />
