Psychic Hand Shake Activity
Instructions:
Leader tells everyone to think of the number 1, 2, or 3 and keep it secret to themselves.
Then, have everyone mingle and shake hands with other scouts they meet. If your number is 1, you only shake once when you meet someone. If your number is 2, shake twice.
If you meet someone that shakes the same number of times as you, stay with them and continue to mingle as a pair, looking for others with your same number.
Reflect: How did it feel when you met a different number and one of you tried to stop while the other continued shaking?
How did it feel when you met someone with the same number?
How many people are there with 1, 2, and 3? Did we divide up pretty much evenly?
