Title: The pulse
Summary:

The participants are standing in a circle holding hands. The facilitator chooses one person from the group which will start the game, by tapping on his or her back in such a way that the other participants can not see. This person ‘releases the pulse’. This means he/she is squeezing the hand either to the person left or right from him/her (by his/her choice). After a person gets the pulse, he/she should also release to the person next to him/her. He is doing this by squeezing the hand of the person next to him only once. He can also decide to send the pulse back and instead of squeezing the hand once of the person on his right, he is squeezing the hand twice to the person on his left (the one that gave him the pulse). Then the pulse is changing direction.

The game can last as long as the participants are willing to and the person sending the pulse first can be changed.

Objectives:

The participants are more concentrated and it helps with the nonverbal communication.
