High Energy Workshop Activities

Everyone plays tag, using breakout rooms in Zoom

Help people to share their individual way of navigating an activity - such as doing their work, or attending an event - by combining the revealing power of metaphor with a series of simple interactions.

When people are hesitant to engage with each other, for example at the beginning of an event, you can help them to actively feel heard, and create a space where discovering and sharing rarely-noticed personal talents and insights becomes straightforward.

Once participants feel heard and have begun to share, they will be more inclined to trust, to work together, and to take interpersonal risks. And each person will have created an enduring personal image to carry with them and to share with others.

Works in person or online, with six to 600+ people.

The game develops imagination, trust and helps to relax.

As for physical skills, participants develop strength and fine motor skills.

One at a time, players step to the center of the circle and pretend to be a cat engaging in some sort of occupation.  Other players try to guess what occupation it is.  The winner is the next to step into the center.
