A step-by-step guide to play the game

All participants gather in a circle.

The facilitator introduces the game by sharing a specific way of saying "Hi" and a gesture or movement with the players.

The players then start walking around, greeting each other by saying "Hi" in the manner shared by the facilitator and using the accompanying gesture.

When they return to the circle, the facilitator invites the players to propose a new way to say "Hi." Participants can suggest their own language or cultural variations.

Continue playing the game for as long as the players wish.

Finally, initiate a discussion about the right to development (see additional game info).
