Human Table

Instructions for the leader

Activity: Cooperative Body-Balance Table Formation Divide participants into teams of 4 and have them stand in a close star formation with right shoulders touching in the center. Pre-Activity Guidance: Conduct a safety and physical comfort check. Emphasize slow movement, clear communication, and non-forced body weight sharing. Structure & Rules: Problem Solving: Without facilitator intervention, the group must figure out how to slowly lower down and sit on each other's laps simultaneously to form a self-supporting "Human Table." Pose Hold: Hold the balanced table position stably for 20–30 seconds once achieved. Safe Release: Carefully dismantle the formation on a group count of three. Timing: 3–5 minutes of cooperative trial and error, followed by a 20–30 second pose hold.
