Human Shapes Team Challenge Instructions
- Find an area free of obstacles and ask participants to spread out
- Start out by asking the participants to make several letters of the alphabet with their body e.g. B, C, D and E.
- Next up, get them to form the words you say e.g. with groups of four people you would do words that have 3 or 4 letters i.e. dog, bird, cat, step and groups of five people words that 4,5 or even 6 letters.
- Finally use a sentence or phrase that allows everyone to be involved.
- You can also split the team into smaller groups and get them to compete against each other.
- Try to make this activity fast paced, so they don’t think too much and are kept energised.
