Part of Deeper Joy

Themes: Spontaneous synchronicity, being silly.

Participants: Any even number, in person or online.

Two people try to say the same word at the same time, eventually. Begin by taking turns: one says “one,” the other says “two,” then together count “three!” After “three,” both people say any word: person, place, object, idea, or phrase. Then think about what connects those two words; what do they have in common? Then count again: “one, two, three!” Each person now says a new word inspired by that connection. Continue repeating this process, round by round, using the new link each time, until both people finally say the same word at the same time. Celebrate when you sync up. No competition, just fun and creativity!
