1-2-3: A physical exercise full of energy!
The aim of the exercise is to break the ice through laughter and movement which strengthens the energy and spirit within the group.
Before starting, consider if you have time to reflect on a couple of questions after the energizer or if you just need the energizer to build up the energy as a break from the workshop.
Required Material: none
Ask the participants to stand on the floor in pairs.
The two people face each other and take turns to count to three.
Person A says: ‘1’.
Person B says: ‘2’.
Person A says: ‘3’.
Person B carries on by saying: ‘1’ and so forth.
They continue to count until everyone has settled into a rhythm. Then they replace ‘1’ with a clap, while ‘2’ and ‘3’ remain the same. This is repeated a couple of times. Then ‘2’ is replaced with stamping a foot. And finally, three is replaced with a jump. The exercise carries on for a few rounds until the energy is built up.
