We looked at Ice breakers for children– Elementary students, for example.
What would you say about another easy-to-use, fun and fairly fast / pre-private team consolidation game? Whoever can be used with a wide range of elementary to adults? If this is the case, “counting around ten” may well correspond to the invoice.
How to gain “counting ten”
Basically, the last standing player wins.
How? The idea for students is to count strategically to avoid saying “ten”. The best part of this activity is that it can give some students who may not be the “best” anything all day a chance to win. (If less than 90% of your students smile all the time, you are wrong.)

How to play the game “Count to ten” team-building game
1. To count at ten, all students stand in a circle.
2. The first student who begins says “one” or “one, two”.
3. The next student resumes digitally where this student stopped and can say a maximum number of two numbers. For example, if the first student said “one”, the second student can either say “two” or “two, three”.
4. The movement continues in the direction of the needles of a watch until a student is forced to say “ten” and must sit, and the game starts again for the next student.
Some notes
Repair students strategically if necessary – if, for an example, a small group begins to understand the rules and become too “aggressive” with other students.
Note that there cannot be a silent break or counting – all breaks or indications that the student counts / calculates them to sit. The timing is everything.
In addition, “molding” or speaking during counting can be a problem for you, depending on age and context. If not, explain to the students what to make the pout (or speak that disturbs the game) while others play results in the elimination of future cycles.
