ICEBREAKER: Salt, Light Light

Let your cell members sit in a circle on the floor. The purpose of this game is to see how many of them get the sequence right! Choose someone to begin. They have to start by saying, “Salt” to the person on their left. This person in turn will then reply, “Light light”. After doing this, this person will have to turn to the person on their left and say, “Light light.” And this person must then answer, “Salt”. After this they will have to turn to the person on their left and say, “Salt” and that person must reply, “Light light.” And so it continues around the circle. Play the game going faster and faster. If someone gets tongue-tied or gives the incorrect answer they then have to sit out. P.S. You can change the sequence after a few rounds if you want
