Drama Game: Passed Around (Trust Exercise #3)

Type:  Ensemble Building.

Purpose:

• Encourage comfortability among the group.
• Encourage trust.

Procedure: 

• Arrange the students in close circles (6-8 students at most).
• One brave volunteer goes to the middle, arms crossed over chest.
• When the student is ready, they may fall forward or backward and then be gently ‘passed’ around the circle.
• Keep the circle in very tight to begin with so students can be passed slowly.
• Still insist on all students being in “ready balanced position” at all times.
• Really encourage every student to go – this is key for creating a group that feels equally involved and responsible for one another.

Reflection:

• What did it feel like to rely on someone else? To be responsible for someone else?
