MOTIVATION (Do You Love Your Neighbor?)
(The teacher will draw with a chalk some spots in form of a circle – the number of spots must correspond to the number of students minus 1). All the students (except one) will take each spot and will form a circle. The “extra” students (who is the leader) will approach one of his/her colleagues and ask “Do you love your neighbor?”.
If the player says NO, the neighbors sitting directly next to that student (on the left and right) must get up and switch seats.
If the answer is YES, he / she has to specify by adding an element that is true for more people in the circle. (Yes, especially people who walk to school/ wear black/ play and instrument.) And all the students that have that common element (they walk to school/ wear black/ play and instrument) must move to another spot.
While they are switching the leader also tries to find a seat. Whoever is left, become the leader.
