Spinning Recognition

GAMEPLAY - COMMUNITY GAME
The group forms a circle. The first player holds the ball of yarn. They identify another player, stating what that player did or said that impressed them (e.g., they listened well, said something funny, etc.). They throw the ball to that person, while holding on to the end of the yarn.

The person who has been recognized does the same for someone else until the yarn has been thrown to everyone in the group. When done, there will be a mandala made from the yarn. Example: “I want to recognize (names another player) for listening to me so well.” They throw the ball of yarn to the player they named while holding onto the end of the yarn. SCORING (Group) This is a pass/fail score. Only if every player is recognized does each player receive five points. If everyone in the group is not recognized, no one can move to the innermost circle.

TIMING None
TURNS Each player uses one turn when they make a recognition (e.g., four players = four turns).
