In this lesson we played a game called kaos! This game involved two layers and next week we are going to add a third layer. I really enjoyed this game, but at times I felt very tense as I was trying to concentrate on doing two layers at the same time and not breaking the sequence. It was also helpful for my concentration skills. We had to try not to be negative when someone forgot the order or dropped the ball, as there is no reason to be negative and it brings the mood down.
Layer 1
Once we had stood in a circle, we went round in a sequence and said someone's name, one after the other, but we couldn't repeat anyone's name. We had to remember this sequence of names; I did this by remembering the person who said my name and the persons name I said, if everyone did this, it was easy to remember. We practiced the sequence a couple of times, doing it faster each time.
Layer 2
for layer 2 we added a new sequence, but this time instead of saying names, we threw an object around the circle. We used a ball, but it could be any object. The same rules applied for the first layer. Once we had formed a completely new sequence, we practiced that for a few time, to become familiar with that sequence. We then added both layers together, so one sequence was started, then Mr Rennison introduced the next sequence in. So whilst you were throwing the ball around, you had to listen out for your name being said as well!
Layer 3
We created a new sequence, by moving to another person in the circle and going to stand in their place. When you replaced a person , they then had to go and do the same thing. Adding this third layer, made the game even more complicated. You had to concentrate on where the people you needed to throw to had moved to, in your peripheral vision.
