Have the students all stand in a small circle and close their eyes. Instruct them to take a deep breath.
Explain: “We are going to count to ten as a group. Any one of you can say a number, but only one person can speak at a time. Try to leave a little space between each number. If two people speak at the same time – we have to start again from the beginning at the number one.”
Start by counting “One!” and let the group continue until two people count at the same time, or until you reach ten.
The goal is to be so in tune with each other you can sense when to count without overlapping.
