The group forms a circle, standing up.  It should be in a bigger room.

With eyes closed, ask them to form a triangle as precisely as possible.

The facilitator stays out to make sure everyone’s eyes stay shut.  

When the group thinks they’ve done as well as they can, the facilitator lets them open their eyes to see their triangle.  Give them time and space to express and share how the feel and also come up with additional strategies to do it better, if they like.

Then, they close their eyes again and, this time, try to form a square.  

For the last round, they try to come back into a circle.  

At the completion, again, give them time and space to debrief and share their feelings and learnings with each other.

Split the group into two teams. 

One person from each team steps forward and with prompt from the mediator think of a word which rhymes. They must be quicker than their opponent.
