Yes!

Materials:

None

How to Play:

Players stand or sit in a circle and look around at each other's eyes. When eye contact is made, both players say, "Yes!" They then switch seats, high-fiving as they walk across the circle. Time the game. See how long it takes for everyone to have a chance to say "Yes!"

Plan for Success:

Model and practice making eye contact and safely moving around the circle. Remind students to avoid shopping for their friends (taking a long time to choose someone) as the object is to go quickly. Have a conversation with your students about how to handle being chosen last.

Variations:

One player starts in the middle of the circle. That player makes eye contact with a person in the circle without saying anything to them. The player contacted makes eye contact back and says, "Yes!" The two players change places. Now there is a new player in the center of the circle and the game continues. The game continues until all players have had a chance to be in the center.
