Put the young people in a circle, so that everyone can see all the players.

1. Indicate to the young people which action is linked to each of the 3 words that have been chosen. One action = one word. For example :
2. Apple = one step forward.
3. Banana = one step back.
4. Orange = we turn while jumping.
5. Once the 3 actions have been completed together (for practice), repeat the game more and more quickly. When a word is spoken, all young people must perform the action at the same time. An action (a word) can be repeated several times in a row.
6. Possibility of adding actions to make the game more difficult: this sometimes allows the circle to collapse and the young people to laugh!

• One word = one step to the left
• Another word = hopping
• etc

If space is limited, we can sit around a table and adapt the "actions" related to the "words". For example, around a table:

• 1 = palms up,
• 2 = palms down,
• 3 = hands closed

CONCRETELY :

• What happens if one of the players has not followed the facilitator's instructions correctly?

FOR FURTHER :

• Is it easy to obey a simple instruction? What are the obstacles, sometimes?
• What happens if one person does not follow the instructions? Do you have examples in your community life? What are the consequences ?

#commongood #community

• Community life requires everyone to know how to coordinate with others, to agree to enter into a common rhythm, into a certain common perception of things, in the service of the life and progress of the group.

For example, in a home, living in common schedules, calendar, regulations, ... It is the same in society, everyone must agree to live in common the laws, the calendar, ...

• Constraints ? This coordination is sometimes difficult for our individuality which must leave its comfort zone. But in return, it allows us to deploy a common energy for the benefit of the common good.

For example when you settle in a new country, or quite simply when you arrive from the province in the capital, you have to adapt your pace of life, your perception of things, your individual organization

• Common good and freedom: Thus, community life imposes "rules to be able to live together". The risk would be to fall into a standardization of behaviors and minds to the detriment of "personal freedom".

For example, to oblige all the inhabitants of the same country to practice an agricultural trade and to prohibit all the other types of trades. This may resemble what happened in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge regime.

• Collective coordination, the fact of agreeing with each other, does not harm freedom. There is nevertheless one condition: this collective coordination MUST be at the service of the personal good which implies the common good.

Good advice: Never be happy alone!
