An energizer game uses physical movement, problem-solving, and fun to engage and energize your participants to the training course or meeting.

Objectives
To increase energy levels within the group.

Method

1. Ask the group to stand in a line.
2. The person at the back of the line is given the first line of a story (e.g., Seven tall men walked into a bar …) and asked to whisper the line to the person in front of them.
3. The next person has to add a second line and whisper both lines to the person in front of them.
4. This sequence continues with each additional participant adding another line until each reaches the front of the line where this person is asked to tell the story.

You can add a variation to this story where the group also has to tell the story backward by going back down the line again.

Discussion Questions

1. Did anyone feel uncomfortable doing this exercise? If so, why?
2. Can anyone explain why it is good for us to know each other’s names?

Appropriate Time Required

Flexible, dependent on group size. Max 15 minutes.
