High Five Vortex

Instructions for the leader

Everyone stands in a big circle. One person becomes the first runner: they take off around the outside of the circle, giving a high five to every single person as they pass. Here's the twist: they don't stop. The moment the first runner passes them, the next person starts running too — and now you have a train. Each runner keeps going all the way around the circle, high-fives everyone in their path, then dives back into their own spot in the circle. The goal: keep the vortex spinning. As soon as a runner clears you, you're next. If the train starts catching up, the circle wins by speeding everyone up — or loses by collapsing into a giggling pile. Both count as success.
