Galloping Hands – Quick Circle Energiser
Form a circle, preferably sitting down.
Each person places their open palms face down onto their own laps (thighs.)
When ready, a nominated person will slap their lap (both hands) causing their neighbour on their left to do exactly the same immediately afterwards, and so on (in sequence) around the circle.
Announce that the group’s objective is to perform this task as quickly as possible.
Repeat several times.
Go both directions, if desired, or try a variation.
