Luther the Translator We have a diverse crowd at CPSI. In that spirit, we recognize that not everyone here speaks the same language. In this game, Player 1 will be on mute. Player 2 will translate what Player 1 is saying based on their non-verbal cues (gestures, facial expressions). Player 3 will give an emotional filter to what Player 2 says, much like Luther, President Obama’s anger translator…
Gift Giving • Present your partner with a gift that you communicate only with gestures and facial expressions, Don’t talk about the gift, just do it. • First player builds an object ie gift , as precisely and careful as possible, Then gift the object to another player – please call their name. • The Second player accepts the gift/object, being as truthful to what the first player built as possible. After having acknowledged this, by naming the item received, player 2 starts morphing the object into something else. This can be done by bending, breaking, twisting, extending, shrinking, you name it. • When the new object is complete it gets passed back to another player, who accepts and then morphs it and so on.
Mirror, Mirror In-Person :| Players per 2, facing each other. They can move (arms, legs, eyebrows, etc.) slowly, and the other player will mirror them. This is a game of give and take - no-one should be (continuously) leading. Keep movements slow. Adapted for online :| Players look at the screen, one player leads. They can move (arms, legs, eyebrows, etc.) slowly, and the other players will mirror them. Eventually, someone will change the movement, and they become the leader, on and on. This is a game of give and take - no-one should be (continuously) leading. Keep movements slow.
