How to play
Do This Do That is a great game to fill in extra time.
Have the group standing up facing a leader (or participant) at the front. This person is the caller. The caller must do a sequence of actions, saying 'do this' for each action. Keep the actions fairly quick. Everyone else must copy the caller. Actions could include:
• putting hands on heads
• putting hands out to the sides
• ducking down
At a random time, the caller says 'do that' while changing the action. When 'do that' is called, everyone else must not copy but freeze, holding the previous action.
If someone moves when the caller says 'do that', then they are out and must sit down. If anyone is too slow at copying actions, they are also out. The last person standing is the winner and can be the caller for the next round.
