Switch If…
Needs a room

If it's true of you, you're out of your seat. One chair short, every time.

A circle of chairs with one fewer than there are people. The screen calls a statement — you've had coffee today — and everyone it's true of has to find a different seat. Later the middle person calls one, with three ready on screen if they want them. It is loud, it is quick, and people learn more about each other in four minutes than a round of introductions manages.

Use this when

The room has split into the groups they arrived in and you want them physically shuffled without announcing that as the goal.

Props: Chairs — one fewer than the number of people

Run this when…

If none of these is your room, pick another.
  1. A group that has met but not mixed

  2. Straight after lunch, when a seated activity would lose them

  3. Breaking up cliques who arrived together
