  2. Define the expected results of the activity.

Examples

On the following links you will get examples of energizers, warmups, and icebreakers http://www.wilderdom.com/games/Icebreakers.html http://www.kstoolkit.org/Ball+around+the+world http://www.corporatedrumming.co.uk/energisers/talking-drums-energisers-02.htm http://www.rezaayati.com/IMG/pdf/games.pdf
