Activity Description: Youths take turns being “it” using a fair rotation system that ensures everyone gets a chance.
Items Needed:
- Two labeled bags or containers (“It” and “Other”)
- Name slips for each Youth
Before the Activity:
- Prepare the name slips (2 min)
- Write each Youth’s name on a separate slip of paper.
- Place all name slips into the “It” bag.
Instructions (Estimated Total Time: 2–3 min):
- Select who will be “it” (1–2 min)
- Draw one name from the “It” bag.
- That Youth takes their turn as “it.”
- Move the name to the “Other” bag (1 min)
- After their turn, place their name slip into the “Other” bag.
- Continue drawing from the “It” bag. Repeat until all names are used.
- When the “It” bag is empty, move all names back from the “Other” bag to restart the rotation.
