A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

The players gather in a circle. The facilitator tells everyone that she/he is holding a little friend who wants to become active.

2

When the facilitator pretends to throw the imaginary friend above our heads, people crouch down one behind the other. When the friend is thrown down and runs under our feet, people jump up one by one.

3

This is repeated faster and slower in both directions.

4

The facilitator asks the players to take over his/her role and gives his/her responsibility to one of the players.

5

Continue the game as much as the participants want.
