Subway Sardines Focus Mixing with others in group; Personal space; Risk taking Materials None Directions The group begins in a circle and is shown "bumpers up" position (hands up in front of them). The object is to have everyone close their eyes and get to the other side of the circle. The first time it is done very slowly. The successive attempts are a little bit faster each time. Sample processing questions (Subway Sardines) Facilitation notes What is personal space? How did it feel to have your personal space invaded? What do you do when someone is invading your personal space? Did you ever feel like opening your eyes? Why or why not? As we went faster, did it feel more or less uncomfortable for you? Since this is a higher level trust activity and some people have a very difficult time dealing with the invasion of personal space, it is important to remind the group about Challenge by Choice and that they are invited to step back and watch at any time. It is also important to make sure that the group does not go too fast, because collisions can occur. Make sure to check in with them after each round to see if they wish to try another round. Usually, four or five rounds are sufficient.
