How to Play

  • The leader announces they will start the impulse by slowly whipping the arm of someone to either their right or left.
  • The motion should flow continuously through the group until it returns to the leader.
  • First just focus on completing the task.
  • After they get the hang of it run an impulse in opposite directions at the same time and see if they can pass through each other.

Variations

Another style of this game is called “Pass the Squeeze, Please” in which a soft squeeze of the hand is passed around the circle.
