1. Get up stretch: Sitting on the side of the bed (or in a chair), with hands relaxed at your sides, take a deep breath, say aaaah as you stretch your arms out to the side and then up above your head, then bend at your waist letting your arms dangle in front of your legs and say "ha ha ha ha" until you empty your entire lungs out.
2. Lion pose: Look in mirror and hold up hands by side of face like lion claws. Stick tongue out, and laugh in a growly way.
3. Shower: Hold shower head above your head and picture laughter raining down on you.
4. Brush your teeth: Using your finger as a toothbrush, pretend to brush your teeth saying "hee" for each stroke. Smile while doing this. Look a partner in the eye, and pretend they are your mirror.
5. Wash Your Face: This is a good stretch for your cheek muscles. Cupping your hands together, as though under a tap to fill them with water, say "aaaah" as you lift them toward your face. Apply pressure with your hands to your face, palms meeting at the chin and one hand on each cheek. Push both hands toward your ears saying "haaaa" This could again be done with a partner "mirror".
6. I love my hair: Take a deep breath in as you run your hand through your hair. Breathe out slowly as you bring your hand back down by your side. Smile. Repeat with other hand.
7. Choose an outfit: Hold up various "outfits" and laugh.
8. You Look Good: Look in your "partner mirror", make an ok sign with your fingers, and laugh in an appreciative manner.
9. Hot Coffee: Pretend to sip a cup of coffee, but it's hot! Wave your hands in front of your face as though trying to cool your tongue and say "hee hee" or "ho ho" really fast.
10. Put on your jacket: This activity expands the chest to allow for more lung capacity. With hands close to chest, push one hand out to side (as though putting it in a sleeve), saying "jjjjjjp". Do the same with the other arm, again saying "jjjjjjp". Lean your head back and laugh.
11. Red Light Green Light: When the laughter leader calls GREEN LIGHT everyone "drives" around the room making driving noises and holding their "steering wheels". When the laughter leader calls RED LIGHT everyone stops and laughs until the laughter leader calls GREEN LIGHT again.
12. Arrive at work: Greet your neighbor in Gibberish: (a made up language of your choice). Smile, look the other person in the eye, and say something nice in Gibberish.
That's it for this one,
