Body Catch

Instructions for the leader

Activity: Collective Flight & Catch Exercise Gather in a large open space equipped with soft grass or padded floor mats. Form a tight, sturdy human "mob" with arms linked. Pre-Activity Guidance: Conduct a comprehensive physical safety and weight-bearing review. Emphasize explicit consent, steady foot posture, and absolute focus from the catching mob. Structure & Rules: Catching Formation: Participants stand shoulder-to-shoulder with arms securely interlocked to form a resilient catching bed. The Flight: A consenting volunteer ("The Flyer") stands 5–10 feet away, runs toward the mob, and leaps forward with arms extended. Soft Catch & Lift: The mob catches the Flyer safely across their collective arms, elevating them before gently setting them back down. Timing: Run for 10–15 minutes, rotating the Flyer role among all consenting participants, closing with a group debrief.
