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.

  1. Mark two sides of the space.
  2. Read a statement such as Switch sides if you prefer summer to winter.
  3. Anyone who agrees crosses the line.
  4. Pause for a quick reaction or optional comment.
  5. Read the next statement.

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 seated hand signals when movement is limited.

Make it a great round

Keep statements light and avoid sensitive personal categories.

Keep everyone comfortable

Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
