Sort Yourselves Out

Sort Yourselves Out
Needs a room

Get into order without talking. Shoe size, distance travelled, years here.

The room silently sorts itself into a line by whatever you name β€” distance travelled, years in the job, birthday β€” using gestures only. Every sort teaches the room something about itself, and the last one is always the one people talk about afterwards.
