Morph gives your group an excuse to get crazy and have some fun.The goal of this non-elimination game is for everyone to morph from a chirping bird, to a monkey, and finally to a rock star. With little friendly competition, participants continuously move up and down the chain between bird and rock star.

This is an excellent beginning activity, and to set the stage for higher-level activities to follow.

In the following course you will learn how to properly set-up and facilitate the activity and then if you wish, move students through an academic and/or social skills development reflection experience.
