Hand, raise and fall

Hand, raise and fall is a game that joins us as a team and makes us support each other. It is also a game that makes you use your peripheral vision so that you are aware of everything and everyone in the room. This makes us concentrate on the task more and makes our reaction times quicker. (This was useful when we had to catch Toby after he said 'where am I' and we had to lift him and then drop him and catch him.)

The Game

1. One person stops with their feet in parallel position. They raise their hand and say "me". Then they fall backwards so everyone in the room should catch them and then push them back so they can carry on walking.
2. If this goes well then you can make it that anyone can raise their hand and say me so they have to be caught. remember if two people say me at the same time no one should fall because it could be dangerous.
3. You can then add on the rule so instead of just falling backwards you can fall in any direction you want.
4. The next layer is instead of saying me someone will point at a person and say you. the person who is pointed at will have to fall.
5. The final layer is added if the group is working really well. When catching the person who is falling you should lower them just a little more so they really have to trust you.
