Summary
This is a classic warm-up for focus and listening. Sit in a circle, eyes closed, and count to a target number together — say, 20. Only one person can speak at a time. If two voices overlap, the whole group resets to the start. It takes real focus and a shared group mind.

- Count to a target number together, with only one person speaking at a time.
