Step by step:
Create a list of as many animals as the number of groups you need. If you need 7 groups, then you need 7 animals
Assign an animal to each participant in the workshop, without letting them know each others animals. Assign the same animal to the amount of participants you want in each team. If you want 3 in each time, give 3 people the same animal.
Ask the participants to stand up and spread around the room.
Ask the participants to locate their fellow group members, but they can only use the sound of the animal they are given.
When doing this method you should consider:
Encourage laughter and fun, the whole purpose is to lift the mood.
