Goal:
Pay attention to communication signals.
Steps
- All players sit in a circle. They bring out a volunteer.
- They then appoint a conductor from among them, in the circle.
- The conductor offers a sign to the round. He is imitated by all the others, who repeat in chorus this same sign. For example :
- tapping his knees with his hands
- snap two fingers
- run your hand through her hair
- ...
- This sign is repeated as many times as the conductor did not wish to change. When the conductor wants to change signs, he does so spontaneously, without notifying the other players.
- The other players must therefore be attentive to what the conductor is doing
However, you must avoid staring too hard at the conductor, otherwise he will be unmasked too quickly by the person who will have to discover his identity!
- The volunteer who left is recalled by the round, once all the players have understood the rule. This voluntary player must unmask the conductor. For this, he must be attentive to all the changes of sign, and detect who is at the origin!
In the round, no one has the right to speak, neither the conductor nor the other players.
Once the conductor is unmasked, he leaves the round and is replaced by the player who left. The game can continue with a second round.
CONCRETELY :
- Have you ever experienced moments when people in a crowd spontaneously repeat a gesture, a rhythm, all together?
song sung in a group, applause at the end of a show, slogans of a demonstration, ...
FOR FURTHER :
- Do you know of times in history when crowds followed a movement without necessarily thinking and may have regretted it later?
#team #coordination
- Good and bad sides:
- In general, a crowd that begins to applaud rhythmically, chanting a slogan, repeating a gesture, this happens in most demonstrations. It is very easy to launch a movement, such as an "ola" on a football stadium, which will be spontaneously followed by the entire crowd.
- At the same time, less sympathetic gestures are just as easy to throw, such as boos at a player you don't like on the pitch.
- In the history of the world''', some of these movements, used by revolutions, political movements, as well as by artistic movements, could be at the initiative of changes, which remain despite everything the revealers of the desires of a crowd) or of a people
I want to thank this singer and I sing a "bis" loudly
- Are more of us right? The problem with these crowd movements, and what requires us to be very attentive to them, is that the “level of rationality” of a crowd is lower than the sum of the rationalities of the people who compose it. : in a nutshell, a mob can quickly become stupid.
