Man Overboard

How it Works

This is a nice elimination warm-up. Everyone spreads out in a staggered line, like in an aerobics class. Then someone calls one of the following:

  • 'Land ahoy' - and everyone hops on one foot, doing a salute with one hand
  • 'Hit the deck' - all down on the floor in a push-up position
  • 'octopus' - make groups of 2, one person on hands and knees and someone else over him or her in the same position
  • 'Man overboard' - groups of 2, one bending back and knees and the other on the first's back (piggy-back style)
  • 'two three four' - all sit down and start rowing
Whoever is last drops out. Repeat till all but one are out.

 

Fear and ego are the enemies. Conquer the first and the second may still get you --- Keith Johnstone
