This The Reaction Game activity also includes:

Put learners into equal groups with a cone in the middle of each group. Start by calling out a command, whether its touching the nose or toes, balancing on one foot, jump around, doing arm circles, etc. Then, when the students hear "GO!" they try and touch the cone as fast as they can. First person to touch the cone gets a point.
