Task-based Games: Swirl

Description

Hel­lo!  My  name is Ger­maine.  I have pre­pared for you some task-based games you can share and play with your friends.  I love task-based games because I feel like I am liv­ing the expe­ri­ence in a way.  When every­one involved is open and will­ing to par­tic­i­pate, then it feels like we are all in this togeth­er.  We receive and give in this very direct and delib­er­ate way that I think is an hon­est exchange for all of us.  Have fun, enjoy!

Swirl

Prepa­ra­tion:

1. Gath­er some met­al sal­ad bowls with your friends and place them on the floor.

2. Fill each bowl with 3 to 4 mar­bles.  Remem­ber to count the total num­ber before and after to ensure you don’t lose any mar­bles.  We don’t want any­one to acci­den­tal­ly slip on them.

3. Before we play, let’s prac­tice.  Swirl the mar­bles inside the met­al sal­ad bowl.


Let’s Play!

Swirl mar­bles in the bowl and place bowls back onto the floor.  While mar­bles are in motion, con­tin­ue this action to keep the sounds going.  (Ah!  Lis­ten to these beau­ti­ful sounds.)

 

Impor­tant

Be on the look­out for jump­ing mar­bles.  Pick them up quick­ly and place them back into the bowl.  Explore this as long as you like.
