Instructions

Everyone (leaders and members) stands in a circle. Each person should then state their name accompanied by a unique movement (for example, jumping up and down, or miming sipping a beverage). As each person introduces their name and signal, everyone in the circle should repeat the name and motion to help commit them to memory.

Once everyone has established their name/signal, person A will “pass” the signal to person B by (a) making eye contact with person B and (B) doing person B’s name and signal. Then, person B “accepts” the signal by repeating their own name/signal again. They can then pass the signal on to someone else by doing that third person’s name/signal.

For example, Sally might make eye contact with Mike, do Mike’s signal, and say “Mike!” Mike would then repeat his own name and signal, accepting the signal. Then, he’d pass the signal to a third person by doing their name/signal.

NOTE: It is very important to make eye contact with the person you are sending the signal to in this game. It’s also important to receive your own signal by repeating it, as this can help the other players’ remember your name/signal.

As the game goes on, speed up the pace. If you forget someone’s name or signal, just ask!
