Bang! (also known as The Gun Game! amongst other variants) is a drama game, in which players stand in a circle and shoot each other with imaginary guns.
The objectives of the game include enhancing concentration skills and reaction time as well as helping groups of people remember each other's names.
The workshop leader/director or other nominated person does not join the circle. Each remaining player holds an imaginary gun in each hand, pointed at the adjacent player.
The leader will call out a player's name. If he/she calls "John" then John must duck to avoid being shot. The players on either side of John must shout "bang!" One of the following then occurs:
If someone accidentally ducks or shoots when they were not supposed to be doing so then they are also out.
Okay (sometimes also spelt as O.K.) is a pop group from Frankfurt, Germany.
Their 1987 single "Okay!" reached #2 on the German music chart in 1988 and #1 on the Austrian chart.
