Given task to team: three participants step onto the stage and are performing given example of competition which can be different (for example floor cleaning, horse riding, tea making, pizza eating, sauna going and other competitions) in very slow movements while 2 others are loudly commenting what they are showing. These three participants are making competition between them. Performance time: 1 minute. After that audience says who won. Kind of sport is given to the team on the spot and they have to react immediately. Participants have no time to prepare.

After the game can conclude that the less details are given to participants, the better because this allows their imaginations to construct situations and ensures richer dynamics. From the game you can learn that sometiomes you don’t need to think a lot before doing because when we are thinking too much, we are making things and situations more complex. Sometimes with spontaneous actions we get better results and good emotions.
