This activity involves participants sitting in a circle, with one individual standing in the center. When a category is called out that applies to multiple seated players, those players must quickly exchange seats. The person in the middle attempts to occupy a seat during this exchange, and whoever is left standing then becomes the new person in the center.
The exercise serves as an energizing icebreaker, promoting quick thinking, active listening, and social interaction. Its origins are difficult to pinpoint precisely, but similar variations of this type of communal movement and category-based identification have existed for generations, adapted across different cultures and age groups to foster a sense of community and shared experience.
