Warm Up Ideas Part 3

Part 1 Part 2
The following warm up activities will help your group get up and get moving. These are particularly helpful after a lunch break or if your group seems sluggish.

Tick Tock by the Clock

Tell the group to pretend the room is a clock with the middle of one wall being twelve o’clock and the one directly opposite is being six o’clock. Participants will move to the time that represents the time they would answer the questions with.

• What is your favorite time of day?
• What time do you usually go to bed?
• What time did you get up this morning?
• What time do you like to get up in the morning?
• When do you like to study?
• When do you like to exercise?
• What time of the day is the most problematic for you?

Zombie Tag

Everyone walks around the room. No running is allowed, but they can walk quickly. Pick one person to start out as the zombie. They have to walk with their arms outstretched, and shuffle slowly. When you get tagged by a zombie you become a zombie. The room will slowly convert to all zombies during this game. This is a great one for getting everyone up out of chairs and moving around.  

Order the Group

Tell the group to line up. Have them form a line according to one of the following characteristics: Height (from tallest to shortest), alphabetical first names, birthdays (January through December), Alphabetical Father’s first name, anything else you think up. Once they are lined up, have them change to the next characteristic. If you have a larger group, you can split up and have the groups race.
