===Materials===
===Directions===
Participants stand in a circle with one person in the center. The physical skills necessary for
spotting are simple – ask participants in the outer circle to develop a firm, flexible stance by placing one foot in front and one foot behind with feet about shoulder-width apart.
Members of the circle place hands up at shoulder height with the person in center in
catching position. The person in the middle then has 3 opportunities to “fall” “fall” towardsmembers of the circle. The person in the center starts the activity by stating “spotters ready”“spotters ready”, members of the circle respond “ready”“ready”. Center person says “falling” “falling” and waits for outside circle to respond with “fall on”“fall on”. If the person in the center is confident, he or she can ask the group members to take a step back, creating a larger circle and greater distance between the faller and the spotters. Regardless of direction, everyone should go to catch. ===Alternative Names===This activity is also known as the "Trust Fall", and has become somewhat of a cliche when talking about team building.
