How it Works

Nice warm-up exercise to help the group function/agree as a whole.

Everybody starts milling about the room. You then ask them to line up , according to various criteria. Examples are:

  • order by age

  • order by weight

  • order by shoe size

  • order by mental health

  • order by personal hygiene

  • order by number of ex-lovers

  • order by blue

Notes

Keep the silly criteria (order by blue) till the end. Usually, the players will start realizing that it doesn't really matter what the order is, as long as the group agrees on the order.

Criteria like mental health or personal hygiene are quite interesting to train on Chivalry .
