How to Play Guiding Hand

The participants form pairs. In each pair, one player leads (A) and the other (B) follows. B does not close the eyes with this variant. A holds his palm about 20 cm in front of B's face. B now follows every movement of the hand with his head and his whole body, so that the distance between the hand and his face always remains constant. A can steer B as desired (up and down, forward, backward, turning, tilting, etc.) and B follows completely without will, like a doll, the hand.

One can often observe that the players perform very nice, graceful movements during this exercise - which they might never have done otherwise.
