Howto
Context
1. Explain why you are doing this game. For example, in a time of change we are often asked to do things that are unfamiliar and this exercise is a way of practicing adapting to change.
Steps
1. We will count up to the number of people in the room (if there are 10 participants then count to 10, you might go around twice or three times with fewer participants).
2. Every time someone reaches the number 3 or a multiple of three (3, 6, 9, 12, etc.) instead of the number say "Buzz" so it will be one, two, buzz, four, five, buzz, etc.
3. Do one or two round like this.
4. Now we are going to add to the fun. Now when the number four is reached we will say "click". Naturally, when you get to twelve you say "buzz click".
5. Do a couple of rounds.practising.
6. You can do a debrief of the game focusing the experience of this kind of change.
