Game: Stop Means Go
Take a walk in the space as we did in Walking. Make sure you're walking with enough energy to feel the air passing over your skin, and try to avoid walking in a circle or going into the 1000-yard zombie stare. Stay alive and awake.
When I say stop you stop, and when I say go you go
When I say forwards you walk forwards, when I say backwards you walk backwards
When I say clap you clap, just once, when I say jump you jump, or suspend your weight in some way for a second.
Then…
When I say stop you go, when I say go you stop
When I say forwards you go backwards, when I say backwards you go forwards
When I say clap you jump, when I say jump you clap
Reflection
notice what happened when the instructions were reversed:
What did you see?
What did you hear?
What did you feel?
