Activity
Split your makers into groups of less than eight.
Ask your makers to get into a circle.
Ask one person to be the leader.
Tell them the leader should perform a movement or facial expression and the rest should follow as quickly as possible.
Build on this
Follow the leader: Do the same exercise but line up the makers one in front of the other. The leader performs a movement. Everyone follows the person in front of them. Will the last person in the line do the correct movement?
Find the leader: One person is the ‘seeker’ and turns their back. The others nominate a leader. The seeker then stands in the middle of the circle and observes. They have three guesses to work out who is the leader.
