- To enhance cohesion
Scenario
The goal of this game is to collectively form a machine. Ask a first volunteer to come in front of the others and propose a sound associated with a gesture (for example: he/she raises an arm and goes down saying “BAM”), he/she will continue to repeat it until all the other players are part of the machine following his specific rhythm. A second player will come to complement the machine. He/she will take place next to the first one and will propose his/her own sound and gesture (for example he/she raises a leg saying “CUI-CUI”). Each player will thus add one by one his/her contribution to form a giant machine with all the players.
Variations
Once the machine has been formed the facilitator can propose to change the rhythm of the machine by inviting the players to go slower or faster until the machine explodes.
