Description:
* Short, fun, physically engaging energizer and laughter-generating activity
* Pick your time, place and group. e.g., works well half-way through a backpacking trip with female adolescents
* Everyone lays down so that their head rests on another person's tummy; the group should all be interconnected by heads and tummies.
* Set a mock "serious" tone
* Optional: Eyes closed
* The challenge is NOT to laugh
* The other part of the challenge is for the first person to say out loud "Ha!" The second person says "Ha-ha", and so on
* The groups tries to see how far the "Ha" gets along the line before someone laughs
* After a few attempts, this generally descends into a crescendous wave of uncontrollable laughter
Equipment: None
Important: Be aware of potential body self-consciousness issues, e.g., may not be a comfortable activity for some obese people or a conservative group.
Time: ~10 minutes
Brief Description: Each person places his head on another person's tummy, so that everyone is connected. The 1st person says "Ha", then the 2nd person "Ha-ha" and so on. The goal is to get all the way through the group without anyone laughing; its infectious if someone starts laughing.
