Directions for Conducting the Activity:

1. Gather participants in their groups. Inform them that youll state an object.
Groups will then, using their bodies, form the shape / outline of the stated
object.
2. They may or may not use available items as props. Call out an object. Groups
should then attempt to form the shape / outline.
3. Once all groups are done, you should inspect their object shape to see if it
resembles the object stated. You may wish to compliment their creativity
here.
4. Proceed to call out the next shape. Carry on as needed.

Specific Rules:
1. Groups must form the shape of the stated object using their bodies.
2. Props are optional. Groups can use whatever items they have.

Variations:
1. Give groups a stated time limit to form the object shape.
2. Instead of object shapes, have groups use their bodies to form words instead.

Inception, Education, Communicator, Championship, Biodiversity, etc.
The longer the word, the more complicated.
