Lap Circle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Lap Circle (also known as a Lap Sit) is an entertaining exercise in cooperation, trust and coordination.
A Lap Circle is formed by a number of people (the more the better) standing in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, all facing towards the center. The next step is for everyone to take a quarter turn to the left (or right) and then on a given command everyone sits on the lap of the person behind them. The end result is everyone is supporting someone and everyone is being supported by another.
- In record setting Lap Circle there are often rules against tickling.
- Businesses often use Lap Circles as a team and trust building exercise.
- The question of how to end or dismantle a Lap Circle is beyond the scope of this article.
