Exercise agenda	First, ask participants to create a common order of them appearing on the screens. Explain that they can drag and drop each person’s video screen and move it in the desired order. You can decide if you follow horizontal or vertical lines or go down the serpentine. Rehearse it by asking everybody to say their names one by one. Tell participants to stand up in front of their cameras to be visible up to their waist or knees. Then explain that they will propose an exercise for others to follow. Those can be simple moves for stretching or energizing. Show the first example. Ask them to show their chosen exercise one by one. Once they finish, the other person offers their moves. In the end, ask participants to show their initials moves simultaneously and stay with this move for a while.
Possible modifications	The exercise can also be a good closure for the meeting. Ask participants to share their energy level after the activity on a scale from 1 to 10 and write it down in the chatbox. You can also modify the exercise by spotlighting the exercise leader, with all of the others following their lead. It can be a good modification to cut the time needed for the expected order or for participants who don’t have a camera and can only follow.
