Separate the group in half and in two equal lines. Have the first person in one of the lines lay down between the two lines.

Gather the employees in a large room that is free from furniture. Blind fold each employee or have them close their eyes. Give the employees instructions to walk slowly and chat with people that they bump into. Make the game more difficult by giving the employees goals such as finding someone who has the same color hair, the same shoe size or the same eye color.
