MID-DAY ENERGIZERS 

I say while raising my hand, “Who here is bored? Let me see a show of hands.” Students raise their hands. I continue with my hand still in the air, “Who here needs a little fun pick-me-up?” Students raise their hands again this time with excitement.

“In about 15 seconds when I say “Go” Everyone will stand up and face the person next to you. I’ll give you a few seconds to look your partner over carefully. Then, when I say “Turn” both of you will turn around and change five things about your appearance. You can roll up your sleeve, take off your jacket, change jewelry, mess up your hair, or anything else you can think of. I’ll give you about a minute for this, so be quick and don’t peek! Then when I say “Turn” again, you will turn back around to face your partner and then spot the differences.”

“Does everyone understand?” Students nod. “Does anyone have questions?” Students shake their heads. “Ok, then, is every body ready when I say go?” Students nod their heads.

I yell, “Go!” Then wait about 20 seconds to let the students look their partner over. Then I shout, “Turn” and give them one minute to change five things about themselves. Then I repeat, “Turn” again so they can spot the differences.
