1.1. Exercise "Princess, Dragon and Samurai"
Purpose Correctly performed exercise will greatly invigorate and cheer the participants. Group size 8-14 people Time 10-15 minutes Instruction Let's divide into two, equal in number of team members. I suggest you play the game "The Princess and the Samurai". This game is similar to the Rock-Paper-Scissors children's toy. Remember this game? OK. Only this game is a team one. This means that the team members will have time to agree on which figure they will show. After you agree, the teams line up in two lines against each other and at my command, you simultaneously show the selected figures. We will have three figures: a princess, a samurai and a dragon. Princess defeats Samurai, Dragon Samurai, Dragon Princess. How do I display shapes? Samurai. How are we going to show it? The usual image of a samurai is a sword, he is aggressive and yells "banzai". Let's try to show a samurai: everyone has a sword in his hand, step forward, strike with the sword and shout “banzai”! On the count of three or four! The Dragon. How will we show the dragon? He is bigger and scary, and he also has flames from his mouth. Let's try to show the dragon at my command: step forward, claw hands and growl - rrrrrr. Princess. “Well, we’ll have a“ warm princess. ”Let's try: a chorus girl, a hem in her hands, her feet like in a variety show and sings“ la-la-la. ”We figured out the figures, now each team has 30 seconds to discuss their own the first move, ie which piece you will show. Try to discuss so that the other team does not hear you. The game will be played until three wins.
1.2. Exercise "Ha - ha - ha"
Purpose A fun, emotional warm-up. Helps to cheer up. Group size 6-14 people Time 5-10 minutes Course of the exercise Everyone lies down, putting their head on the stomach of another participant and thus forming a long chain. The first player says: "Ha", the second: "Ha-ha", etc. The game starts over if anyone laughs.
1.3. Exercise "Catch the pig"
Purpose Warm-up helps to relieve unnecessary stress. Group size 6-14 people Time 10 minutes Course of the exercise All participants face in a circle. It is proposed to imagine that a small, rosy piglet is running in a circle, which grunts all the time. The task of the players is to catch the pig. And they do it as follows: at the command of the presenter, the sound "oink" is transmitted in a circle from one participant to another, while the time is recorded on the stopwatch. The game is played several times, each time increasing the rate of passage of the sound "oink" in a circle.
1.4. Exercise "Pupsik"
Purpose The warm-up is somewhat provocative in content. But this provocation helps to cheer up and cheer up the participants. Group size 6-14 people Time 5 minutes Instruction We will now conduct one exercise with you, but you owe me and your colleagues that the conditions of the game will be met until the end. Take out the baby doll. Let's turn on the imagination and imagine that we are a collection of ancient magicians or sorcerers. A new person is born, and we must give him something special. We will pass this child from hand to hand in a circle. When the child is in your arms, you must reward him with some gift. For example, say: I reward you with a kind heart. In this case, you need to kiss the baby in the heart. We launch the baby doll in a circle. And now, for your wishes to come true, you must kiss your neighbor to the right where you kissed the baby ...
1.5. Exercise "Who is this?"
Goal A fun warm-up. It allows people to be creative and evokes a lot of positive emotions. Group size Any Time 15 minutes Instruction The purpose of the exercise that we will conduct is to amuse us and thereby cheer us up and prepare for further training. Take each piece of paper and draw a head on top - a person, an animal, a bird. Fold the sheet so that only the tip of the neck is not visible. And pass the drawing to your neighbor. Each participant in the game had a new sheet with an image that he did not see. Everybody draws upper part torso, again "hide" the drawing and give it to a neighbor in order to finish drawing the limbs on the new sheet received. Now expand all the drawings and see what kind of creatures are depicted on them.
The giver should describe his gift in as much detail as possible, albeit without words: whether it is heavy or light, large or small, what shape it is, how it is packed, etc.
The exercise can be carried out in several modifications.
1. Each member of the group comes out in front of the group (it is important that everyone sees him and he
saw everyone, therefore the circular arrangement of the group members in this case is ineffective; it is better to accommodate in a half-ring or a line) and gives a gift to everyone at once.
2. The first member of the group gives his present to the neighbor on the right. He thanks him non-verbally or with a short emotional exclamation, after which he gives another gift to his neighbor on the right.
3. The first member of the group gives his gift to the neighbor on the right, and he must show that he
If the trainer deems it necessary, he can clarify with the participants what kind of gift they gave and whether the addressee of the gift understood exactly what was presented to him.
"HELLO, BONJUR, HEALTHY BULA"
To make the group greeting in the morning cheerful and cheerful and set a "carnival" mood (if the program of the day requires it), you can use greeting words in different languages.
Each of the participants should greet their neighbors on the right and left in some foreign language (good morning, guten Morgen, bonjour, etc.).
As an option: group members freely roam the audience, shaking hands with each other and saying their greeting.
Klaus Fopel invites the trainer to prepare in advance for this and stock up on cards with greetings written on them so that the participants can draw one of the cards and use the hint.
USA, UK: "Good morning"; "Hi."
Italy: "Von giorno".
Spain: "Buenos dias".
France: "Bonjour".
Estonia: Tege.
Lithuania: "Labas ritas".
Israel: "Shalom".
Hawaii: "Aloha".
India: "Namaste".
"GREETING WITHOUT WORDS"
Each participant should greet the group with some kind of non-verbal greeting. This can be either a contactless greeting (wave your hand, nod your head, make a curtsy), or a contact greeting (shake hands, hug). You can use greetings that are typical for different social and ethnic groups: pioneer salute groups, Japanese bow, etc. The rest of the group responds to the greeting in the same way as they greeted them (nod in response, shake their outstretched hand, etc.).
This exercise can be performed both in a circle and in any order - as soon as it is ready or by passing the ball.
For a trainer, this exercise may have additional diagnostic meaning. Which group member initiated closer contact? Who tried to withdraw from such contact? Who was the most inventive? How was the handshake carried out? Etc.
"CHORUS GREETINGS"
For this exercise, you can use one of the verbal or non-verbal greeting scenarios described above. The only difference is that not one person will voice the greeting or demonstrate the greeting gesture, but a couple or three.
These small groups can be formed on a territorial basis, uniting those who occupied neighboring chairs, or form groups of those who had the least communication on the previous day or entered into some kind of conflict or antagonistic relations, or choose to unite into a group those who are planned to be involved in next exercise(for example, a role-playing or business game) in such a composition.
Groups can be given ten to fifteen seconds to think, then they greet their other colleagues in turn.
"DAILY RITUAL"
If the training lasts more than two days (especially if these days do not go one after the other, but with breaks), it makes sense to come up with and use a ritual that everyone would open
new training day. The trainer can invite the group to come up with such a ritual.
independently or suggest one of the options available to him. It can be like words - a greeting or speech in chorus, sequential pronouncing of a more detailed text, when each person is assigned a specific, word-like and non-verbal action - for example, a handshake of each with each. Such collective rituals increase group cohesion and anchoring the work spirit.
It is possible to think over two interconnected rituals - morning and evening, which will be the symbolic beginning and end of the group's work, opening and closing "Thank you" or Western "we are together").
"JOINT ESSAY ABOUT THE FUTURE OR PAST"
This version of the greeting is a modification of the well-known warm-up exercise, when the group members are asked to compose a fairy tale in a circle: each one in turn nests with one phrase, and the one sitting on the right must develop the thought and storyline in the next sentence.
In order to link this exercise with the topic of the training, the facilitator needs to think over the task. This can be a story about the previous day: “Yesterday we did this ... And then this ... And we achieved such results ...” Or the formulation of goals for the day ahead: “Today we will become more successful ... informed ... active ... ”(also a kind of group affirmation). Or a more narrative story related to the training problem ("Swan, cancer and pike after team interaction training"; "Tops and roots from the best negotiators"; "About the assertive Little Raccoon", etc.).
"NO ONE KNOWS THAT I ..."
Each of the participants (in a circle or in random order) complements the phrase: “Nobody in the group knows that I am ...” For example: “Nobody in the group knows that I did not hear the alarm clock today”, or “Nobody in the group does not know that more than anything in the world I love pickled cucumbers ", or" Nobody in the group knows what I dreamed tonight ... And I won't tell anyone! "
You can offer participants other phrases for addition:
■ "And today I am better than yesterday, because ...";
■ "I am very glad that I ...";
■ "I am ready to move mountains because ...";
■ "We will all be today ...".
It is important that the phrases are positive or humorous; their continuation should not cause any special difficulties, sad thoughts or excessively deep reflection in the participants.
"RECIPE FOR A GOOD DAY"
This exercise will require some delicious recipes. The trainer can prepare the recipe cards themselves or have the participants grab them from home. Recipes should be mouth-watering and include at least 7-8 ingredients.
Participants are divided into subgroups of 3-4 people, each of the subgroups by drawing lots gets one of the recipes.
The recipe should be the result of collective creativity and suit all members of the subgroup.
Anything can be part of a recipe. Klaus Fopel gives as an example the following recipe: “We take 20 interesting participants, a kilogram of obligation, one hundred grams of experience, abundantly flavor all this with curiosity, add a pinch of the spirit of contradiction ... "
Subgroups are given 10 minutes to prepare the recipe; after all the recipes are formulated, they are read out to all participants.
During the discussion of the game, the coach can emphasize that some "ingredients" were repeated in all or most of the groups (naturally, the "participants" as an ingredient are not taken into account - they are likely to be in all groups. won't - that's quite
may become the subject of an interested discussion). Or the proportions of these ingredients.
At the end of the day, you can recall the details of this game. Let's say, after analyzing which of the recipes turned out to be the most similar to what actually happened in the group. Or somehow prepare a dish that resembles this recipe right on the final share.
"HELLO DEAR..."
This exercise is ideal for the second day of training. In the process of its implementation, the participants have the opportunity to repeat the names of all those present once again, which is important in large groups even on the second or third day. Also, the exercise sets up the participants for team work, helps to focus on what is happening in the group.
The exercise is performed in a circle. The task of the first participant is to greet his neighbor on the right, saying to him: "Hello, dear ... (name of the neighbor)" and doing some
movement (gesture). The next participant greets his neighbor on the right, repeats the gesture with which he was addressed, and adds his gesture. The difficulty of the assignment lies in the fact that the gestures should not be repeated.
This exercise, like the previous one, is good to do on the second day of training. It gives participants the opportunity to quickly engage in training work and receive Additional information about each other. But you can offer it to the group only when the coach is sure that everyone remembered each other's names. The meaning of this exercise is lost if the training participants have known each other for a long time. In large groups, it is desirable to divide the participants into two teams.
One participant moves away from everyone else at a certain distance and turns his back to them. Participants randomly ask the volunteer any questions they are interested in, to which he must answer, but before that, giving the name of the participant who asked the question. That is, the task of the leading player is to identify the speaker by voice and answer his question. It is more difficult to do this if the volunteer does not know where who is and cannot navigate in the direction of the sound.
"WHAT'S NEW?"
This exercise can be done at the start of a new training day. It helps to tune in to work, to remember what happened in the group yesterday, and also teaches participants to be more attentive to each other.
Participants sit on chairs in a circle. The presenter asks everyone to look closely at each other for three minutes, paying attention to how this or that person looks today, in what mood he is, how he manifests himself. After three minutes, the participants should, throwing the ball to one of the participants, say what they saw new in this person compared to yesterday. The presenter makes sure that the ball has visited each participant.
After completing the exercise, you can ask the participants how much what they heard corresponded to their own feelings, experiences, etc.
Alternatively, you can ask the participants, throwing the ball, to repeat any phrase that the participant said yesterday.
This fun warm-up fits in well with team building training. It can be used at the beginning of work or in the afternoon and in training on other topics, when you need to create an atmosphere of cooperation.
All participants stand in one large circle and hold hands. The trainer says that now he will launch the wave, and the participants will have to pass it around in a circle. Waves can be different. The presenter either simply raises his hand with his neighbor's hand, or shakes it, or
makes some other movement, for example, weaves the fingers of his hand and the hands of a neighbor into a lock. The task of each participant is to convey the resulting movement as accurately and quickly as possible.
When the players succeed in performing movements without mistakes, the coach launches another wave in the same or opposite direction.
This exercise can be organized as team competition... Participants are divided into two groups, each team lined up and held hands. Everyone should be positioned so that the leader can take the hand of the first member of each team.
Participants located at the opposite end of the leading end, on his command, transmit a certain movement to their neighbor, he passes it on to his neighbor, and so on. The team in which the movement reached the leader faster gets a point for speed. Teams also receive points if their movement along the way has not changed and reached the leader the same as it was at the beginning. Before starting the game, the presenter must distribute cards to the first players on which it is written what movements should be transferred. Movement can be any, for example: one strong handshake, two weak handshakes, etc.
"TALK WITH HANDS"
This warm-up helps to establish more | trusting relationship | in a group |
helps the participants to overcome barriers in communication, improves the atmosphere at the training. | ||
To complete the task, the participants need to form two, circular | ||
outer, and stand facing each other. The number of people in each circle should be |
||
the same so that all participants form | couples. If the group is odd | |
participants, the trainer takes part in the exercise. | ||
The participants' task is to communicate with their partner using only their hands. The coach sets the topic for "conversation" and after two or three minutes asks the circles to shift relative to each other by one person. Further, communication continues already in new pairs and on new topic... After two or three minutes, the couples and the topic change again. The facilitator may suggest the following situations in which communication takes place:
■ the participants have just met and are happy to see each other;
■ participants quarrel;
■ one expresses condolences to the other for any reason;
■ one participant is offended, and the second wants to make peace with him;
■ one tries to support, cheer up the second.
After completing the exercise, it is imperative to discuss with the participants what feelings arose during the game; on what topics it was easy to communicate, on which, on the contrary, difficult; was it easier to convey emotion yourself or receive it from a partner; which of the participants was easiest to communicate with.
"CONFUSION"
This exercise rallies the group, but since it involves rather close physical contact, it must be used with great care.
Participants form a tight circle and stretch their arms forward. At the command of the leader, each must take the hands of two players, while it is advisable not to join hands with those who are standing nearby. Further, the trainer invites the participants to "unravel", that is, without separating their hands, line up in one or several circles. Usually, the leader participates in this exercise on an equal basis with everyone, but does not actively influence the unraveling process.
Participants often have doubts that this problem can be solved. In fact, you can always unravel. As a result of the game, there may be several circles; it is possible that some participants will face in a circle, some with their backs. But in any case, a solution will be found.
After completing the exercise, you can ask the participants what helped them to cope with the problem, what could be done to solve it faster. When discussing, it is important to emphasize that the key to the successful completion of this task is a benevolent attitude towards each other, constant orientation in the situation and the generation of original ideas.
"PASS SUBJECT"
This fun warm-up is a good way to start a new day of training. On the one hand, it evokes a lot of positive emotions, and on the other hand, it helps to tune in to group work, increases concentration. In addition, it gives participants the opportunity to show creativity and non-standard thinking.
Participants must pass an object in a circle, such as a marker or a ball. But the method of transmission must be new for every participant every time. If the object falls, then the game starts over.
"AND ONE, AND TWO, AND THREE ..."
This exercise strengthens group cohesion, participants' engagement, concentration, and observation.
All participants stand in a circle. At the command of the leader "once", everyone begins to perform any movement, preferably not very difficult. At the command "two" everyone stops making their own
movements and begin to repeat the movements that their neighbors on the right did before. On the count of “three”, the participants again change their movement and perform the movements of the neighbor on the right, which he began to do on the command “two”. Thus, the movements seem to go in a circle.
When the facilitator has named a number equal to the number of participants in | group, movements should |
You, of course, love your beloved child very much, you want him to grow up smart and harmoniously developed. And for this, you need to practice with the child every day, preferably from birth. Warm-ups should be very simple, uncomplicated, well-remembered and children like it. These fun activities will help you build many skills in your child.
Classes are very simple to perform, they can be engaged with children of a very young age and with any level of speech development. In the course of classes, you repeat the same sounds many times, thereby prompting the child to pronounce them clearly after you.
It may seem to you that this is too much simple exercises, they are not interesting and ineffective for your child, but believe me - they are not at all! A little later, after a little work with the child, you will see many changes in his development. He will become more cheerful, mobile, he will pronounce more sounds.

The following warm-up exercises require a facilitator and several teens on the program staff to demonstrate the exercise and invite viewers to participate. A microphone may be needed. If the young workers have not done the exercise before, it is necessary to rehearse several times so that they know well what to do.
FRUIT SALAD
it warm-up exercise with singing. Everyone gets up. The melody sounds:
1. Raise the right and then left hand and open-close them for each syllable: “Ki-vi, yab-lo-ki, ba-na-ny” ...
2. Raise and lower your head: “A-pel-sin, a-pel-sin” ...
3. Twist your hands in front of you, as if stirring something: “Let's mix everything. Let's mix everything ”...
4. Rotation of the hips: “Eat the salad! Be healthy!"
RAINSTORM
The host informs the audience that the weather forecast foreshadows a hurricane downpour. Then he / she suggests, “Let's try to hear him coming. Repeat after me, please. " The presenter, with his palms and soles, begins to play louder and louder sounds that resemble the sound of rain and thunderclaps. The sound intensifies as the storm approaches, and then dies down and disappears altogether. The presenter should, stepping over with each sound, move around the stage from right to left and back to engage the audience in the action. If the assistants use theatrical props, such as an umbrella (real or imaginary) and a raincoat, the impression will be heightened.
The first drops are falling: it is raining. Tap your index fingers lightly against each other. Do it slowly at first, then increase the speed. When you reach high speed, move on to the next sound. The noise of the rain is getting smoother. Alternately tap the fingers of one hand against the palm of the other. The tapping may speed up. The rain is getting worse. Rub your palms together, making a whistling, rustling sound. At first it can be slow (slow rubbing), then it speeds up. Then start clapping lightly with your palms, gradually making it louder and louder. Thunder is heard. Continuing to clap your hands, begin to slowly and quietly stomp, slowly moving around the stage. Use the strength and speed of your legs to create the impression of a rolling, “thundering” sound. In the midst of everything, when everyone is passionate about stamping, the noise should be deafening! Then begin to gradually muffle the noise, moving in the opposite direction to indicate that the "storm" is passing. The storm is leaving. Do noise movements 1-3 in reverse order to show that the noise of the rain diminishes until some rare drops are heard falling. If someone pretends that he is drenched and wants to hide under an umbrella or raincoat, he can feel free to “play to the audience” and show that there is no dry place left on him, maybe even throw away the umbrella from which water is pouring in a stream, etc. At the end, you can wipe the water off your face, showing with facial expressions and gestures that the sun has come out, a rainbow has appeared, etc. The total duration of the warm-up exercise is only 2-3 minutes.
CHOCOLATE
Another warm-up show song. Everyone gets up.
The melody is very simple, played in the key of B flat major. Notes are given under the appropriate letter or word (Ef = E flat; Bf = B flat):
Words: W - O - K - O - L - A - D - L - A - D - L - A - D-
Notes: fa sol fa mi rem mi fa to rem mi rem mi fa
F - G - F - Ef - D - Ef - F - C - D - Ef - D - Ef - F
Words: W - O - K - O - L - A - D - L - A - D-
Notes: fa sol fa mi rem mi fa do fa si
F - G - F - Ef - D - Ef - F - C - F - Bf
The purpose of the movements is to depict the letters of the alphabet that are sung:
Ш - arms are raised at shoulder level, and bent perpendicularly at the elbows.
K - the right hand from the shoulder to the elbow is pressed to the body, from the elbow to the hand is maximally pushed to the side. The elbow of the left hand is as close as possible to the right hand.
O - both arms are connected above the head, forming the letter "o".
L - both arms are connected above the head, forming the letter "l"
A - put your head in the middle of the letter "l" - this will be the crossbar of the letter "a"
D - Sit down, slightly push the knees apart, place the elbows of both hands between them. Hands with palms facing each other, fingertips touching.
Sh-o-k-o-l-a-d - Move your arms from a position over your head wide roundabout to the belt, describing the shape of a coconut in the air.
The faster the song is sung, the more energetic the song is!
RIGHT? AGREE!
This warm-up exercise is nonsense, which can be reshaped and supplemented if the presenter has a rich imagination. The audience explains to answer the words “Right?” or "Agree?" the opposite word. For example:
Host: "Right?" Hall: "Agree!"
Host: "Agree?" Audience: "That's right!"
Then the presenter begins to tell the story - about anything. But after every few words, the presenter inserts one of the "test words", asking: "Right?" or "Agree?" The audience shouts the right word in response. The facilitator can increase the frequency and speed, and the order in which the test words appear, to confuse listeners. Having reached the logical end of his story, the presenter says: "Well, that's all, right?" To which the audience responds: “Agree!” Further, the presenter tries to appeal to the audience with a call to finish the warm-up exercise, continuing to sprinkle his speech with the words “Agree” and “Correctly” and posing as a person who drives himself into a corner more and more - until everyone laughs. Then the presenter gives up his attempts and leaves the stage.
ATTENTION! The next speaker is better off not using the same words if he is counting on a response from the audience!
HEY MAX!
The presenter recites the following poem, beating an even beat. To do this, you can tap your foot, imitating a metronome that maintains rhythm and speed. In the first stanzas, the measure is indicated by crosses “x” under the words, and stressed syllables are underlined. This is a warm-up with movement / demonstration - the audience is asked to repeat the movements behind the presenter, while pronouncing the words with him to the rhythm.
Rotate the imaginary knob rhythmically over several beats. Continue to act out each of the following stanzas, keeping to the rhythm as before. As each new “task” is added, do the movements in the same way.
Hey Max turn the knob right hand... Hey Max, turn the knob with your left hand. Hey Max turn the knob right foot... Hey Max, turn the handle with your left foot. Hey Max, turn your head now (turn your head from side to side). Hey Max, tongue, turn it over here (move your tongue from side to side). Hey Max, are you all busy? Say: yes, yes, yes!
In the last verse (7), the words are spoken with a protruding, rotating tongue, a dangling head, and arms and legs performing movements. "Hey Max, are you all busy?" Say: yes, yes, yes! (with an accentuated sigh).
SPECIAL PERSON
Like a football cry, this very short warm-up can be used to quickly build enthusiasm and engage the audience. She has an additional plus: she affirms the motto about the uniqueness, value and dignity of each person. The presenter asks the audience to repeat the words after him. When the audience learns the words (this will happen very quickly), the warm-up can be varied by changing the volume (from whispering to screaming), shifting the emphasis on different words, or arranging a loudness competition between the male and female parts, between those sitting on the left and right, etc. ...
I (the audience repeats: "I ...")
SPECIAL ("special ...")
AND A WORTHY MAN ("and a worthy man ...")
AND I DESERVE ("and I deserve ...")
THE BEST BEST WISHES! ("the best best wishes!")
SLAP IN THE LADOS
A rhythmic pat that is very popular as a “splash” for a program. The facilitator may want to navigate to it with a standard introduction, such as counting down (“8, 7, 6, 5… Okay”), or by asking a question (“Are you okay / okay? Okay / okay…).
“Okay, okay, (fast) okay, okay, okay! Hey!
Clapping to the beat:
(without touching the palms) shouting “Program name” 1 (last clap)
Acim susam
This warm-up game sounds in Polish and is also accompanied by movement, which makes it very interesting and entertaining. It is better to play in a circle, where the leader suggests repeating certain words and the following movements after him.
Markets for pshut (hands are extended forward with a gesture "great" - four fingers are clenched into a fist, and the big one is extended upward). Thrusts to the rear (hands rest against the stop at the elbows back). Persh that in front (push the chest forward). Back that back (push the lower body back). Knees akoch (bend knees). Yak legs are at the pig (turn the feet inward like a pig). Yonzyk ford (stick your tongue out on your chin).
After each movement, the following words are pronounced: "Atzim-susam-atzim-susam-atzim-susam-hop" (back and forth-back and forth-back and forth-hop), while the outstretched arms turn left or right, and on the last "hop", in the jump, all participants turn to the right and walk in a circle with the words: "La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-hop" I sway from the side to the side. With the word "hop", again in a jump, everyone returns to their original state and, repeating the previous words, move on to the next. For example: “Markets for pshut. Atzim-susam-atzim-susam-atzim-susam-hop. La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-hop. Markets for pshut. Thrust to the rear. Acim-susam ... Markets for pshut. Thrust to the rear. Persh that before ... "
If the training is not corporate, but team-based, then before starting to conduct it, it is necessary not only to acquaint the participants, but also to defuse the atmosphere as much as possible. This is why there are warm-ups for training. In addition, with the help of such exercises, you can “calm down” the group after some active exercise, or, conversely, activate the participants, overcome their passivity. Before doing the warm-up, you need to explain to the group members the goals of the upcoming exercise. For example: and now we are with you in order to get to know each other better / tune in to work / cheer up we will do ... and then give instructions on how to act. Let's consider the most popular and interesting workouts for trainings.
1. "Charming Olga".
The trainer asks to come up with an adequate epithet characterizing the participant from himself strong side... One condition must be met: the name of the participant and the epithet chosen by him must begin with the same letter. Then the warm-up can be carried out either by the "snowball" method, or by the "stitch back to the needle". When carrying out a warm-up with the help of a "snowball", the participant repeats everything that was said by previous people and only then calls himself. This method is recommended if the group is not very large. Since the last participant is the most difficult, it is appropriate for the coach to speak last. It is not recommended to write down the names of the participants. This will help you remember each other's names better. If the number of participants is high enough, then performing the warm-up in the "stitch back to the needle" method implies that each next player repeats only what the previous person said. During the exercise, the trainer may ask, “Who is this?” And the group names this person. So while everyone introduces themselves, each name must be repeated in chorus once.
2. "Why and for what."
This warm-up exercise will help the trainer understand the goals of the people who came to him and for what time period they are aimed: for the past experience or for the future. For this, questions are asked: why did you come to the training and what do you want to get from the training. At first glance, it may seem that these questions are the same, however, despite all their similarities, the first is addressed to the participant's past experience, and the second shows future goals. Each respondent must give his or her name and answer one or both questions. The coach asks these questions without focusing on any of them, but pays attention to which question the participant is answering. In the future, he can use this information as a diagnostic criterion. There are two more questions that will be especially useful if the training is for sales managers. The answers to them will help to determine what the person is oriented towards - the result or the process: "What do you expect from the training, what should it be like in your opinion?" and "What will be for you the best result training? "
3. "Find me."
The essence of this exercise is as follows. The trainer offers to carefully examine each other, moving from participant to participant, and after that he sets the task to gather in groups according to some specific criterion. For example: team up with those who have green eyes, who are wearing jeans, who wear jewelry, etc. This exercise will be useful both for groups whose members know each other and for those who see each other for the first time. In the first case, you can group by hobby, knowledge foreign languages etc.
4. "Mutual presentations".
In order to complete this exercise, it is necessary that the group members unite in pairs and ask their partner as detailed as possible about the following points: what results he expects to get from taking part in this training, what qualities he values in himself, what he is proud of, what he can do best and what unites you. After that, one of the couple sits on a chair, the second becomes his back, while putting his hands on his shoulders and talks about him in the first person, playing him. Then each of the group members can ask a question, which must also give a worthy answer. After completing the exercise, the participants discuss what they experienced, what emotions they felt. The trainer's tasks are to regulate the time,which is reserved for the interview and for the presentation, to express the feelings thatthe participants experienced when a partner spoke on their behalf, whether he correctly guessed the answers to the questions, whether he succeeded in becoming their double.
5. "The prodigal hare."
This warm-up for training will be very useful if you need to shake up the group and set it up for serious work. Can also be used as an acquaintance, like the second stage. A person is selected who will be the driver. All other members of the group are seated on chairs. The leader says: "Change places those who have ..." and names any sign that several members of the group have. Participants who have the named sign must change places, and the driver must sit on one of the free chairs while the participants change. The member of the group who did not have time to sit on the chair becomes the driver. It is forbidden to stay in place if you have a named sign by which they are changing.
6. "Eastern Bazaar".
This exercise helps warm up the group, builds negotiation and persuasion skills, and therefore will be especially effective for sales and customer service managers. The coach reminds the group members of the picture of the oriental bazaar, asks about the associations that arise when remembering him. He offers to make an imaginary journey to such a bazaar, for this he distributes a sheet of paper to all the group members, asks to bend it horizontally and tear it into two halves, then do the exact same operation with each half and then do the same with each quarter. Then, on each eighth note, write your name in large understandable letters, write your first and last name, fold the resulting note several times so that the text is inside. The coach collects all the notes and puts them in one place, mixing thoroughly. Each of the group approaches the notes and selects eight pieces of paper, with which he goes to the oriental bazaar. The task of each participant within 5 minutes is to find and buy all eight notes, where his name is written. You can persuade, change, argue. The first three participants who come up to the trainer with collected notes with their names are the winners. In order to maintain an appropriate tense atmosphere, the trainer reminds the group members how much time is left until the bazaar closes.
7. "Next".
This warm-up for training activates the participants well, sets them up for a working mood and concentrates their attention. All members of the group stand in a circle. The coach explains that now they will play a game, throw the ball and call a number from 1 to 20. The participant who caught the ball must name the number one more named. Then he throws the ball to the next participant, giving his number. You cannot name a number one more than the named number. At first, this causes difficulty, nevertheless, it very effectively forms concentration during active types of activity and develops concentration of attention when switching it.
8. "Fingers".
Pair up the group members. Explain that at your signal they will have to show any number of fingers on both hands. Partners need to carefully look at each other and next time, without agreeing to show the same number of fingers. Continue the exercise until all pairs of participants show the same number of fingers.
nine. " Santiki - candy wrappers - limpopo».
This warm-up belongs to the category of exercises that charge the group with positive energy and allows you to move. First of all, you need to choose someone who will drive, let it be a volunteer. He goes out the door, at this time all the other members of the group stand in a circle and choose a leader. After that, everyone starts clapping their hands together and repeating: “Santics -fantiki- limpopo ". The one who drives returns to the room, his task is to understand who is the leader. He stands in the center of the circle and observes the participants. The leader at this time should add some movement to the claps and words (nodding his head, for example), and the whole group should repeat after him. The task is for the whole group to change their movements, but so that it was impossible to guess who the leader is. When the driver guesses the leader correctly, he joins the rest of the participants, and the leader becomes the driver. It must be remembered that clapping and the words " Santiki - candy wrappers - limpopo "Are repeated throughout the game, and the rest of the movements are only added to them. This exercise develops attentiveness and observation.
As you can see, all exercises carry a positive attitude and train various qualities, which makes them indispensable for training. After all, it is important to remember that the game form was and remains the most effective for teaching and bringing the appropriate mood into the group. Warm-ups undoubtedly bring group members closer together, allow them to open up and interact more successfully with each other. They can be used at various stages of the training, at the beginning, to most of them, you can add the first stage, where it is supposed to get to know each other by the name of the participants, and then conduct any of them. It is also very useful to use these warm-ups for training when the group is tired or returned from dinner too relaxed.
