Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to facilitate this method
  1. 1

    Step 1: Prepare a large game board with 40-60 squares, marking one-quarter as 'ACTIVITY'. Place dice in the center. (15 minutes)

  2. 2

    Step 2: Divide participants into random teams of 8-12 people and assign a unique token to each team. (5 minutes)

  3. 3

    Step 3: Distribute a list of zany small group tasks to supervising leaders. (5 minutes)

  4. 4

    Step 4: Teams roll dice to move around the board. Landing on 'ACTIVITY' requires completing a task assigned by the leader. Landing on an empty square allows another roll. (30-45 minutes)

  5. 5

    Step 5: Continue play for a set time or until a team completes a certain number of rotations.
