This is fast, this is loud, and this is guaranteed to boost a group’s energy levels, whether face-to-face or remote!
How to do it
This energizer works particularly well for large groups. If your group is meeting face-to-face, ask them to arrange themselves in a big circle. As the facilitator, explain that each person has to stretch out their arms into the middle of the circle, bend their knees a bit, and say quietly “Maaaaaahh...”. Then the next person does the same thing but louder and louder, and so on around the group. Once it gets to the last person, everyone jumps and yells “aaaZUNGA!!!” at the same time.
Pick someone and start them off, and then move around the circle, building the momentum for the final crescendo! Lots of fun.
Variations
Doing it remotely? It still works, but you might have to ”˜conduct’ things a bit more, especially when it gets to the final person. Oh, and make sure everyone has their microphone ON at the beginning!
