    This document provides directions for a group activity called "group sit" where a large circle of people turn to face counter-clockwise, grasp the hips of the person in front of them, and sit down on the lap of the person behind them to form a human circle. The activity is meant to build collaboration but works best with a cohesive group of similar sizes. Once seated, the circle can do coordinated movements like waving, back rubs, or a caterpillar motion by taking small steps. The activity risks pile-ups and should not be done with people of very different sizes.

    Collaboration #3

    Group Sit

    Group Sit

    Group sit is a wonderful show of collaboration and fun for participants who have
    coalesced as a group. Do not do this activity if team has yet to come together or
    if people of remarkably different sizes are in the group.

    Directions:

    Everyone available (record is over 1,400) stand in a circle should to shoulder.


    Now turn to the right one-quarter turn. All should be facing counter clockwise
    and spaced evenly. Grasp the hips of the person in front of you and on the
    gentle count of "3" everybody sit down on the lap of the person behind you.
    Actually, the circle is far more stable, but less exciting if you sit on your neighbors
    knees. Once seated, you can wave hands, give back rubs, or try a coordinated
    caterpillar merry-go-round, take a small step (like a two inch step) at a time until
    a bulge ends the game in a pile up.
