Instructions

The group must keep a balloon in the air. Start simple. Then add constraints: no one can touch it twice in a row; everyone must touch it before it lands; only elbows; the group must count aloud each touch. Each constraint forces new coordination. Debrief: which constraint was hardest? How did you adapt?
