Ice-breaker, Group Building Activity
Make participants be connected to each other using physical contact.
* Have everyone stand in a circle facing the same way. Put your hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you and give them a light neck and shoulder massage.
If someone is inspired, they should start a new massage technique. When people feel the new technique on themselves, they should copy it and pass it on to the person in front of them, thus passing around a series of techniques.
Variation: you could do the massage as a rain in the forest, starting with some drips to a real thunderstorm, or as a Pizza preparation etc.
