❖ The Exercise in Action: Trainer Gerri Borden of Troy Savings, uses 30-second games to energize participants throughout sessions. Borden chooses a topic and challenges participants to list as many titles as they can from the category, such as professional football or basketball teams or Disney movies. When the 30 seconds are up, participants show how many items they have listed. Borden writes the number after their names on a flipchart. Borden uses this activity before each break and at the end of the day, but is careful to use a variety of categories, for example, things used in cooking, fruits, vegetables, musical instruments, birds, types of clouds, etc. She awards a prize to the person with the highest total.
