Who Is the Leader

The players form a circle. One person leaves the room while the group chooses a leader. The leader begins an action, such as clapping. The person is brought back into the room to stand in the middle of the circle. The leader carefully changes the action and the other players follow suit. The person in the center tries to discover who the leader is. It is important that the other players not give away the leader by watching them too closely. When the leader is discovered, he/she leaves the room and a new leader is appointed.

 

Number Exchange

All Players sit in chairs placed in a circle. The players number off consecutively. One player stands in the center. That player calls two numbers. Those persons whose numbers were called must quickly change places. While they do so, the center player tries to reach one of their places first. The person left without a place becomes the center player. After a time, the center player may call more than two numbers, or may call "number exchange" and everyone must exchange seats.

 

Rhythm

Players sit in a circle and take consecutive numbers. A rhythm is established, such as tap knees twice, clap hands twice, snap the right fingers and then the left fingers. One person begins by calling his/her number on the first snap and someone else's number on the second snap. The person whose number is called must repeat his/her own number on the first snap and another person's number on the second snap. Anyone who breaks the rhythm is eliminated.
