Fun and simple guessing game that produces lots of laughs as the group tries to follow and coordinate their actions to that of the leaders without giving the leader away.
Can be useful as a name game too for people to ask the name of the person they are identifying as the leader if they do not know it.
Also useful as a gentle starter activity as it helps people really focus on the task of either hiding the leader or guessing the leader though subtle observations and focus.
