Rules Participants must do only what Simon' says. Choose from two possible formats. • You're leader If someone is caught not doing as Simon says or doing an order not proceeded by the words, " Simon says," they move to the back of the room ' Divide participants into two groups facing each other. Each selects a captain who gives orders for 30 seconds of each round. As a leader, you keep track of the number of people caught, to determine the winning team Relaxation exercize This quiet sitting energizer is useful during an intense presentation You may also hear it called a stress reduction exercize It is similar to a fantasy game but less threatening Participants close eyes and concentrate on tensing and relaxing exercizes You can verbally lead the exercize or use a pre- taped program. You might say. " Tense your feet by curling your toes ( allow people to hold this for a couple seconds) Now relax your feet tense your leg muscles, relax them...."
