The Listen and Look Game
Listen and Look is a energizing and engaging activity that works virtually and is also extremely fun and simple. With this exercise, in the next 2 minutes, you’ll have boosted the energy of your group.
Sitting in front of your desktop or laptop computer, ask all of your virtual participants to look directly into your webcam and listen carefully.
Announce that over the course of 20 to 30 seconds you will call a series of commands that will require each person to look to the left or right. Challenge each individual to respond to each of your commands as quickly and accurately as possible.
Instruct each person to hold their look to “left” or “right” for a half-second before returning to equilibrium (facing the screen.)
When ready, start issuing a random series of these two commands. For example: “look left, look right, look left, look right, look right, look left, look left, look left, look right.”
Upon completing your first 20 to 30 second round, shake out the stress of the exercise and announce that you are now introducing two new commands “up” (to the ceiling) and “down” (to the ground.).
Again, when ready, start announcing a random series of all four commands. Continue play for another 20 to 30 seconds. For example: “For example: look left, look up, look down, look up, look up, look left, look right, look right, look down, look down, look right”.
