Trainers’ Toolkit – Emotional jukebox

	Exercise nr 5: Emotional jukebox
Duration	10-15 min
Type of activity	Social / Body / Emotional / Cognitive
The goal of the exercise	A quick and easy way to find out how a group is doing without getting into personal details.
Group size	2 – 100+ participants
Hashtags	#engagement #warmup #music #movement #dance
Materials and tools necessary for the activities	Prepare a Padlet (https://padlet.com/)  or another app where photos and images can be uploaded together (f.e. Miro, Mural, Gslides or Jamboard)
Exercise agenda	Show (using Padlet or another app) your participants cover images of popular songs with their titles.  We suggest using 10 titles, f.e: Happy Pharrell Williams – Happy (Official Music Video)  Help The Beatles – Help!  It’s a final countdown The Final Countdown    We are the champions Queen – We Are The Champions (Official Live Video)  Killing me softly Fugees – Killing Me Softly With His Song (Official Video)   Good Vibrations Marky Mark Good Vibrations 1991/(HD/HQ)  Dazed And Confused Led Zeppelin – Dazed And Confused (Official Audio) I want to break free Queen – I Want To Break Free (Soundtrack Mix)   Under pressure Queen & David Bowie – Under Pressure (Classic Queen Mix)  Light my fire The Doors – Light My Fire    Now invite your participants to answer this question: What song are you today? Ask them to give a like (put their mark or sign) next to the cover that best represents their mood today. This allows everybody to see who’s on today and the coach to see what the mood of the group is and what the group needs at this moment.
Possible modifications	An extension of the exercise is to have people dance to the number that gets the most “votes” to get a feel for the energy of the group majority. You can enhance this playlist with additional items. It is important that the songs have catchy titles so that they can easily convey the emotional state of the participants. At the same time, it is advisable that they are energetic, danceable and generally uplifting.
