AMoeba Race!

Hey Ya'll: Another world is possible!

If we want to make change let us look to science-- let us look to the beauty of life. Here below you will find the life-inspired amoeba that is simple enough to make the world go round.
Simple is beautiful!!!

Amoeba Race

• A fun game, using a basic biology concept of a cell
• Requires cooperation, competition and close physical interaction. Useful as a simple activity to help a group get comfortable with one another.
• Explain how to create an amoeba. There are 3 parts:
  • a lot of protoplasm
    (people who don't mind being close, gather together)
  • a cell wall
    (people who like to contain themselves & others, surround the protoplasm, facing outward, linking elbows)
  • a nucleus
    (someone with good eyesight and the ability to keep on top of things should be the nucleus, seated on the shoulders of some of the protoplasm)
• Once the amoeba is formed, try taking a walk through a field or around the block. A rhythmic chant might be helpful for coordinating movements. (What sort of sound does a one-celled creature make?)
• Finally, try a little cell division. Split into two, create a second nucleus and have an Amoeba Race.
