Content:

Each participant gets a number. Two participants have the same number. Ideally, one number should be given to a German-speaking participant and one to a French-/Italian-speaking participant.
The participants form a circle with a rather large object (e.g. a foam cube) in the middle. The teacher calls out a number. The two participants of each team who have that number try to grab the object in the middle of the circle before the other. The language of the numbers is alternated or one round is played in German and then one round in French/Italian.

👉 The game is designed for two classes of 20 participants each, but can easily be adapted by omitting or adding a number. It is played in smaller groups, i.e. there are 10 participants per group and therefore 5 numbers.
