Count Together

Count Together
Needs a room

Count to twenty as a room. No order, no leader, and two people speaking means starting again.

The room counts to twenty with nobody assigned a number and nobody leading, and if two people speak at once you go back to one. It is the quietest activity here and the most attentive β€” it forces a room to sense each other rather than organise.
