Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Stand or sit in a circle.
- Choose the first spotlight player.
- Give one short prompt such as favorite snack, make a sound effect or name three animals.
- After answering or passing, that player chooses the next spotlight player.
- Continue until most or all players have had a turn.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use only verbal prompts for a seated group or movement prompts for higher energy.
Make it a great round
Keep turns under 20 seconds and make passing an explicit option.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
