Anweisungen
The leaders are introducing the game and checking if everyone is okay with being physically involved and okay with the chairs (balancing).
Then one after another criteria is being mentioned and one gives the group a couple of minutes time to sort themselves. When the group gives the leaders a sign, that they are ready, the leaders are checking if the lined up correctly by asking them from one end to the other.
One can so at least 3 rounds with different criteria.
More advanced is the line up when everyone is standing on a chair (better to remove the shoes). The criteria can be: age, shoe size, eye colour, … instructors / leaders can be creative.
The result should be that on one side is for example the oldest and on the other the youngest.
