Summary

This quick and easy-to-learn warm-up game is perfect for smaller groups. The participants stand up and spread in the room and a timer gets set to 5 minutes. One team member then sets a task, which the others have to complete as quickly as possible (for example "touch something that is blue"). The participant to finish last gets to choose a new action. 

Step-by-step

  1. Let the team spread up evenly in the room. Then set a timer to 5 minutes and let one participant choose the first action, that has to be completed by the others.

  2. Now the other participants have to complete the action as fast as they possibly can, while the person who finishes last decides what the next task will be. The game ends when the timer runs out.
