Continue repeating and passing zip zap zop. It&#8217;s inevitable at some point you&#8217;ll &#8220;zip&#8221; a &#8220;zip&#8221;, but it doesn&#8217;t matter!<\/p>\n<h2>Teaching Purpose<\/h2>\n<p>A good warm-up for building group connections. Although we&#8217;re in the same room physically, it gets people in the same room mentally. People might be thinking of work or worrying about something, so this warm up gets everyone in the same zone.
