Number Off

In brief: To count off one number at a time without two persons saying it at the same time.

Intensity: Low

Introduction: A game for groups with at least 20 members or more. It is actually more challenging than it looks.

Prop(s): None

How to play:

  • Ask the group members to stand randomly around.
  • All the members must look down at the floor and avoid eye contact with the rest of the group.
  • The challenge is for a member to start counting from ‘1’ and keep going consecutively until all members have a unique number.
  • Only one member can call out a number at any one time.
  • Should 2 or more members call out a number together, the group will have to start counting again from ‘1’.
  • No signaling of any sort is allowed during the game.
  • No discussion is allowed before the start of the game.numering-off-pic

Notes to the Facilitator: A ‘solution’ is to, when restarting, go back starting with the same people calling for ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, and so on.
