2. Join the circle, then share that you'd like a new spot. Explain that you're going to ask someone else to give you their spot - and explain that because this is a very generous game, they're going to give it to you! Explain that you're going to make eye contact with someone in the circle and say, "May I?" Share that that person should say, "You may!" Explain that when that happens, that person will leave their spot, and as they're leaving, they'll lock eyes with someone and ask for their spot! Meanwhile, you'll take the spot you asked for, and your former neighbors will close up your old spot.
