Try This Little-Known No-Prop Game
the Lazy Facilitator: Episode 01
You can never have enough quick, simple, no-prop activities up your sleeve that you can pull out at a moment’s notice.
And here’s one you probably don’t even know.
It’s called Count Off, an exercise that simply instructs your group to count to 20.
Ahhh, but it’s not as easy as it sounds, and here’s why. But first…
It works with any size group. It’s simple, you can use it anywhere and at any time, and…
I promise you, it will engage your group immediately and trigger bursts of laughter when they discover just how difficult the task is, because only one person can say one number at any point in time.
