6. Zip Zap Zoom
This is one of the best warm ups, as it’s a fun game that revolves around learning names. The idea is to stand in a circle, and be ready to call out the name of the person on either the right or the left, depending on the call of zip or zap from the middle of the circle. In later rounds, players are encouraged to create new names for themselves, as a test of memory and as a light hearted creative psychological exercise.

7. Warp Speed

Start by tossing a ball to someone else in a circle. Each person who receives it tosses it to someone else in the circle not immediately on either side of them. That person tosses it to another person who has not yet received it and again not immediately on either side of him or her. Throwing continues until the last person tosses the ball back to the first person. Next, teams try to recreate the pattern in the next phase. The activity is timed, and the group is encouraged to break the "Warp Speed" barrier.
