2. MERRY-GO-ROUND
OR ‘TRAINS’
The group divides into two
halves by counting off-
ONE, TWO, ONE. TWO—
around the circle.
4-7
Then all the ONE’s form a
circle, and all the TWO’S
form another circle around
them.
When the leader says
“GO,” circle ONE runs in
one direction and circle
TWO runs in the other-
whistling and puffing like
trains.
When the leader shouts “STOP,”
each person turns to the
nearest person in the other
circle and introduces
himself or herself. Each
pair talks together
about a topic the leader
or someone else has
suggested.
After a minute or two, the
leader shouts “GO” again,
and each circle at once
begins to run as before until
the leader again cries “STOP.”
This can be repeated 4 or 5 times.
Afterwards the whole group can meet to discuss what they learned.
