100 Ways to Play at Work #28: The Floor Lines Are Lava

team building activities toronto improv yes and

A bit of a combo game here, mainly because going full “floor is lava” would probably get you a little too much attention at work. So we’re combining it with a mix of “step on a crack,” and “the way some baseball pitchers skip over the foul line as they’re coming off the field as some sort of superstition.”

 

In short, when you walk about, don’t touch any lines on the floor. That’s the game. Simple rules. If you do touch a line, obviously you’re the reason the Blue Jays lost, and you should be very mad at yourself. (Yes, I’m still thinking about it.)

 

Bonus challenge: Use this as impetus to go for more walks, instead of a reason to avoid them. Go for the win!

This series was inspired by people asking me “How do I keep doing improv?” after a corporate improv workshop. There are, of course, improv classes, more workshops, team building exercises you can do with your group, but these games are specifically ones you can do on your own to practice “Yes and” and get into a state of play.
