Lighting/Impulse/Pulse

Type: Initiative

Recommended Group Size: Minimum 10

Props: Large Coin and 2 objects to grap (could be bandanas, rubber chicken, etc.)

Activity:  Split group into two.  Have the two groups form a straight line and sit across from each other.  Each group holds hands with their teammates and everyone except the 1st person in line puts their head down and closes their eyes.  The facilitator flips a coin and if it lands on heads, the leader squeezes the hand of their teammate to start the pulse.  The pulse then carries down the line and when the last person gets their hands squeezed, they open their eyes and grab the object in front of them.  The winning team then shuffles down and the person who grabbed the object becomes the leader.  When everyone has been through the line, that team wins.  If a team grabs the object early or without the need for a pulse, they lose and the other team shuffles down.

Activity Specific: Land based; General

Potential Processing Outcomes:  Teamwork

Approximate Time:  15 - 20 min
