Stand up, sit down

Learning Outcomes:

The activity helps participants to re-focus on the activities again after the break.

Duration:

Duration may vary. As an energizer, the activity should not be longer that 15 minutes.

Description

The trainer(s)/facilitator(s) say(s) a phrase and those for whom the statement is true stand up, those for whom it is false sit down.

i.e. “I have a pet.” or “This is my first training session.” or “I hate bananas” or “I best like to work on my own rather in teams.”

After each phrase, the trainer(s)/facilitator(s) can invite those standing to sit back down again – or if they are incremental topics, they can say “stay standing if …”.

Tips

The trainer(s) should start with not-too-personal subjects and subjects that will likely cause a lot of people to stand, then move on to more sensitive areas once participants get more comfortable.
