This is great for an icebreaker at a retreat.
Take pieces are colored cardboard paper (use 4 colors, usually cut 8.5"x11" in half for a good size) and tape them to the floor over the area you wish to play (much like the plastic twister mat only bigger)
Make a spinner. (Note: A normal twister spinner WILL NOT do) Grab a piece of cardboard (20"x20" is a good size, wood works even better) and draw a large circle inside of it, divide the circle into 24 sections) and label them as follows:
Left Arm Red Middle Arm Red Right Arm Red Left Arm Blue Middle Arm Blue Right Arm Blue (Continue with the other two colors and then to Legs... Left Leg Red, Middle Leg Red, Right Leg Red, etc) If you have time, color the sections as the players like to see the spinner's results while they are playing. Poke a hole in the center and add the pointer.
Have each teenager grab a partner and tie one hand/foot to the other (much like a 3-legged race) They now become a person with a left arm/leg, center arm/leg and right leg/leg.
Put on some tunes and start spinning and calling out the instructions! If they want to play again (depending on how long the game goes for) have them choose a partner that they don't know.
