Type: Warm-up.

Purpose:

• To be attentive and work on quick decision making.

• To work on focus.

• To raise comfortability of a group.

Materials:

A big enough space for the entire class to stand in a circle comfortably.

Procedure:

Level One

•Players stand in a circle.

•One player, Player A, claps his hands, ending in a pointing position toward the direction of

another player. Simultaneously Player A will say the nonsense word !ip"#

•Player $ repeats this action, clapping and pointing at another player, Player %, while saying

!ap"#

•Player % repeats this action, pointing at yet again another player while saying the word !op"#

•Players do not need to follow any order can clap and point at any other player they choose, but

they should follow the patter of &ip, &ap, &op.#

Level Two

•After the group has gotten su'ciently good at this, you can have them remove the clapping or

the saying of the words &ip, &ap ( &op.#

•)ocus is passed from one person to another by *ust saying the words or by *ust clapping, not

both.

Level Three

•+hen theyre really good at that, you can remove any clapping and words all-together. )ocus is

passed by making direct eye-contact.

Variations:

•n some regions, the nonsense word &op# is often replaced with &ub.#

•At any point, the players can break from the circle and move freely about the room. They must

still maintain the passing of focus from one person to the ne/t.

•Players can match and copy the manner in which they receive focus. $asically, you imitate the

way &ip, &ap or &op# was said to you as you pass it on to someone else.

• This can also be played as an elimination game where everyone who says a word out of order 0ie.

saying !op# instead of !ip#1 or takes too long is eliminated from the game till there is only one

left.

looking directly across from another student. '(f space is tight) make two sets of two lines.*

+. Tell one line they are line A and the other is line B.

,. ou will stand at the end of the lines and call out A) B) hift/ over and over again. When you say A)

everyone in line A strikes a pose. When you say B every one in line B makes a mirror copy of the pose

the person across from them took on.

0. When you say shift/ Line A shifts one person over in one direction) line B in the other direction.

The people at the ends switch over from line A to B or B to A. ou now have the e1act same set up as

at the beginning ! people are %ust facing someone new.

2. ou repeat the process A) B) shift/ until people are back in the same position.

3. To make things fun) start off slow A 'one 4ississippi) two 4ississippi*) B 'ditto*) hift 'ditto*/ and

then slowly speed up so students are scrambling to keep up. '5ote6 (f students get confused with

where they are point out that when you do the shift you don7t end up facing the ne1t person in line !

you end up facing the person two people down. This will help the shifting.*

8. 5ow things really start to get fun. 9epeat the process again) but this time students must strike a

pose and make a noise.

:. ;or the final round) tell students to make a repeating motion and sound. <opefully all heck willbreak loose and kids will be getting outrageously ridiculous and giddy.
