Title: Atomic Particles
Summary:

The following game can be used to bring up the energy of a group or at a beginning of a day with educational activities. You can play it with as many children or youngsters as you want. 

The idea of the game is that the participants are running free all over the room. The visually impaired facilitator stops this running in an undefined rhythm by calling very loud a number like  “5” for example and followed by “atomic particles are coming together”. When the participants are hearing this, they need to stop running and try to find four (or depends on the number of particles) other participants and build a group. It is very important that the visually impaired facilitator changes the rhythm and the number of particles very often so s/he keeps the participants' attention.  There can be background music helping increase the mood of the participants.

Increasing energy level, helping to concentrate for a task after the game, increasing mood and motivation of the group.
