An energizer is a brief activity that is intended to increase energy in a group by engaging them in physical activity, laughter, or in ways that engage the members cognitively (problem-solving). They can be used with any group, including during training.


Collection of Free Energisers

By Archer Training - Our collection of energisers is growing but what exactly are they? During training workshops, training events and talks, your audience will not always be attentive. When energy is low you can use Neuro Energisers or Physical Energisers to wake up their brains. Do tell them what you are doing - audiences are fascinated as to the latest brain research. If you don't tell them what you're doing, the pragmatic ones will think they are just playing games and you'll get a smelly mark on your happy sheet! And always try to link the icebreaker to the session content as this gets you to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. Most Read (Added: 21-Sep-2009 Hits: 5110 )

Energizers: a lot of sense in nonsense (Appears to be intended for use by Camp Counsellors)

By Faith Evans - Games are ideal for awakening the "I," as well as the sense of "we" of the collective community of campers and staff. The seeming nonsense of energizer games works well for many occasions: in the beginning of a session to focus and connect a group, in the middle of the session as a transition point from one activity to another, and in the end of a session to leave the group with a stimulating experience as well as a positive adjournment. Energizers are short, direct, simple, and work well with all ages. (Added: 21-Sep-2009 Hits: 1639 )
