Group Building Activity
A trust-building game for a small group. Involves body contact.
Trust-building in the group.
Divide participants in groups of 10-15 pers. maximum. There should be one person in the middle of such a group, while the rest of them should make a circle around this person. The person in the middle has to be with closed eyes and crossed hands. The people from the circle have to push gently the middle person, so that he/she almost falls, however the others in the circle immediately catch this "drunk bottle", so the person never falls down, while being pushed by others.
Use ca 1 minute per person to be the "drunk bottle", then ask to switch the person in the middle, so that everybody tries it.
Finish the activity by a reflection on how the people felt in different roles (pusher, supporter, "the drunk bottle"), and what they took from this game.
