Team Building Skills: Decision making, Communication, Planning.
Equipment: A means of timing one minute accurately.
Just A Minute is a very simple game that can be played in a few different ways.
The first is with players playing individually. The group must sit in a large circle. The teacher will say start when everyone is ready. It is then up to the individual to stand up when they think exactly a minute has passed. The teacher will be timing and can tell the class who achieved the closest time.
A different variation of Just A Minute is to play with lots of different groups of students. The students will be sat down in groups and will need to decide when to stand up as a group. This is decidedly trickier as a group decision will need to be made.
