How to play
In pairs, players explore different angles through turning their bodies – ¼ turn (90 degrees), ½ turn (180 degrees), full turn (360 degrees, with spotting).
Players form pairs, standing about 2 metres apart, facing one another.
Player A calls out an angle (acute, right, obtuse, straight, reflex, revolution).
Player B turns to model the size of the angle, eg. acute - less than a 1/4 turn, straight - 1/2 turn.
After each call, players return to facing their partner and call out another angle.
Swap roles.
