- Music
Place musical instruments around the room, with good spacing between each instrument. Participants sit together in the middle of the room and listen. The leader plays an audio clip originating from one or more of the instruments. Then, participants must agree on which instrument the sound comes from. Once they have decided, they run to the instrument they believe it is. If multiple instruments make sound in the clip, the group can split up and choose different instruments.
Variation
- Turn the activity into a competition with multiple groups.
- Groups receive points for both guessing correctly and for being the fastest to the correct instrument.
