Introduction
This is an exercise used to break the ice, and get everyone in
synch. Everyone into a circle.
Description
There are three things that the players can be.
The first is
an alien. The alien is signified by making antennae with your
fingers
and leaning into the circle making the noise "zeep zeep zeep".
The second thing you can be is a tiger. The tiger is signified
by leaning into the circle exposing your ferocious claws and
roaring.
The last is the cow. The cow's udder is exposed by
putting your
hand on your stomach and mooing loudly. Someone in the circle
briskly counts to three.
On three everyone commits to one
of the three
character types alien, tiger, or cow. Keep repeating the
cycle of 1-2-3 until everyone does the same creature. Generally
dissolves
into complete chaos before there is any synchonicity.
Gimmicks
Increase the number of options i.e., cow, android, fridge,
Chevy
Variations
Majority Rules-- the odd people out are out. I.e., if there
are six tigers, four cows and two aliens the two players
that chose
aliens are out of the circle.
