This fast, physical and loud energizer, has a high level of silliness and quickly charges up a group. The group repeats a simple chant over and over again, getting louder and louder as they go. By the end, the group is shouting and jumping about.

Step 1
The energizer starts with the group in a circle.
Step 2
The whole group crouches down and begins to whisper "go bananas - b-a-n-a-n-a-s". This is repeated over and over again, each time a bit louder. Along with the increasing volume, the group slowly stands up until, in the end, everyone is jumping energetically and screaming: "GO BANANAS - B-A-N-A-N-A-S!"
