How to play
Partners face each other. One leads, moving slowly and smoothly — raising an arm, tilting the head, shifting weight — while the other mirrors them in real time, as if they were a reflection. The goal is movement so connected that an observer can't tell who is leading. Swap roles after a minute, then try the master level: nobody leads, and the pair simply moves together. A theatre classic that doubles as a surprisingly effective focus and empathy exercise for any team.

Common Ground
Split into small teams of four to six. Each team has five minutes to find the most unexpected things every single member has in common — beyond the obvious ("we all breathe" scores nothing). Broken the same bone? All hate cilantro? Everyone's been to the same tiny town? Teams then present their three best discoveries, and the group votes for the most surprising. A deceptively powerful bonding exercise: strangers walk away feeling like they've known each other for years.

Mingle mingle mingle
Get the whole group together. The leader running the game calls out a category question (for example - what is your favorite color?). Everyone in the group would then have to start calling out their favorite color to each other and find the others in the group who have the same favorite color as them. When a player finds another player who has the same answer as them they then join together (by linking arms) and continue to go round the group looking for more people with the same answer. After a minute or so (completely up to the leader running the game) the leader can call "STOP". Each group needs to call out their answer. If there are two people/groups who have the same answer but are not linked together then they are eliminated from the next round. Or alternatively, to keep everyone involved, you can give each kid five wrapped lollies or popsticks to start with and they lose one each time this happens. Be creative with the questions you ask: - Favorite pizza topping - Favorite ice cream flavour - Favorite TV show - Favorite band - Favorite book of the Bible, etc.
