In pairs facing each other, one person moves and the other mirrors the movement and the facial expression as closely as they can. A performance variation asks a pair to mirror in front of the group so that nobody watching can tell who is leading; another has both players lead and follow at once.
Hold with care
- Being watched closely and copied, including facial expression, at close range
- The author's own tip is worth carrying: pair people who are not already friends, because friends tease and the exercise then does not land
