Warming-up Games for the Group

48

Lost in the Dark Woods

Goals

• Warming up

• Being comfortable with body contact

• Learning to trust

• Reducing fear

How to Play: Two groups are formed. Members of Group A position themselves in the room spreading their arms. These players represent trees. There should be a distance of 2 to 3 yards between “trees.”

Players of Group B try to feel their way through the dark woods with their eyes closed by holding onto branches at every step.

Note: Initially, not all players manage to keep their eyes closed tight. Sometimes they peek. Some players are afraid of the dark, so peeking a little is okay. If they are used to playing “blind games,” it won’t be a problem—they will know that “blind games” are more fun with eyes closed.

Role Plays

• A group of people gets lost in a place they cannot get out of. What should they do? Keep wandering about? Should a few try to get help while the others stay put?

• In the basement of a huge, unfamiliar house the light suddenly goes out.
