Do As I Say – Active Energiser Game
  1. Assemble your group into teams of approx 10 to 15 people, standing in a circle.
  2. One person starts by announcing that they like to do a particular set of actions, while actually performing a different set of actions, eg say “I LIKE TO JUMP UP & DOWN” but instead flaps their arms in circles.
  3. After several seconds have elapsed, the next person will perform the action announced by the first person, while saying that they like to do a different action, eg “I LIKE TO RIDE HORSES.”
  4. This process of performing the action of what the person before them announced continues around the circle one by one.
  5. Challenge your group to repeat this process, working around the circle as quickly and as accurately as possible without making a mistake.
  6. When someone makes a mistake, you may choose to eliminate that person until one person (the winner) remains, or simply start over.
