WORKSHOP 3

Ask participants to form a large circle.

The Facilitator demonstrates that they will jump, raise arms and loudly say HA!

Next time the group will work as a team to all do it at the same time as the Facilitator.You can do a practice jump counting down from 3. Repeat a few times.

Ask for volunteers to be the new Jump-HA! Leader. Encourage the new leader to beloud and not to do it quickly so the rest of the group have a chance to join in. If theLeader is making false starts, remind the students that a good leader doesn’t trick,they lead.

For the final turn(s), tell the group that you don’t know who the leader is but someonewill take the initiative to Jump-HA! and everyone will follow.

Ask participants to stand in a circle.

The facilitator makes slow movements with their body using hands, legs etc. The rest ofthe group must copy doing the movements at the exact same time.

Ask a volunteer to now lead the movements. All other participants copy the volunteer.The pace can also be changed e.g. faster rhythmic movements.

Ask a volunteer to leave the room. Another participant is chosen to lead themovements. The group copies.

Bring the volunteer back and they must guess who is leading the movements.

The group work as a team and make it difficult for the volunteer to guess the leader correctly.

Choose a new volunteer to guess the leader and before they enter, the group can alsodiscuss tactics they can use to hide the identity of the leader.

Discuss t he responsibility of leadership. Be a strong leader that people can follow and itis important you all work as a team.
