The Count
The group works toward a shared goal where one mistake resets everyone.
Teaches collective responsibility and patience — the group only wins if everyone succeeds.
Instructions
Small groups must complete a collective task perfectly — passing a ball in a pattern, completing a clapping sequence, building a word chain. If anyone makes a mistake, the whole group starts over. The challenge is to support each other rather than blame. Set a target of 3 perfect rounds. Debrief: how did the group handle mistakes?
