The Great International Flash Mob Phenomena

Watch these two videos and see just how easy it is to use modern technological devices to get a whole load of people who don't know each other, and who will probably never meet each other again, to collaborate together to simply have fun.
Once you have watched, have a think about the questions and then do some YouTube searches for other Flash Mobs.

The Great Chicken Flash Mob.

Now this one, which plays on the 'freeze-frame' idea.

The Grand Central Station Freeze Flash Mob

Here are a couple of questions for you to ponder ...

1) How would you have felt if you had been there too ... either as an innocent passer-by who just happened to witness the event, or as someone who received the message in time and decided to go and participate in the happening.

2) How could these sort of organisational skills or the events themselves be adapted for your classroom use ?
