Equipment
You don't need any equipment, but some music would be great.
Procedure
All ants are moving around in the group. When at some point in time the moving is interrupted (the music stopped), the ants have to meet in pairs. The referee then tells everybody, how the pairs have to greet each other:
- shaking hands
- knees on knees
- nose on nose
- kisses on cheeks
- dancing a waltz
- etc.
Additionally, both players exchange their name.
Then, everybody moves around the room again, until the next command is issued.
