<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080><SPAN class=250093608-08112005>It reminded
me of a session I did years ago with 150 girl guides - in a field in north
Oxfordshire, UK. They asked me to run a series of 'New Games' - cooperative
games which orginated in the anti Vietnam War movement involving parachutes,
large 'Earth Balls' and lots of other ways of playing. They are games which mean
that everyone wins - no feels like they have lost.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000080><SPAN class=250093608-08112005>One such game
is called 'Sit on my knees please' - where you get everyone standing in a close
circle - all facing the same way - and then on the count of three - everyone
sits on the person behind them. If it works - everyone is supported by everyone
else - if it doesn't - everyone falls over and it still works - with lots of
laughing. I have a photo to prove it!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
