I need to come up with some sort of activity that I can teach or coach to someone in less than two minutes ... any ideas from the creative pixies?

what age group are you teaching? i have a few ideas of *L* Quickies (non sexual of course) but i need to know if it is age appropriate

Ummm... adults, it's a career training bit where I have to as an ice breaker type thing teach something in two minutes. Anything goes, so long as it's ummmm work appropriate.

Take 2 people from the group, give them each four quarters, show them "paper scissors rock" and get the rest to write down how many turns they think it'll take before one of them has lost their money.

I don't know what it proves or teaches, except it takes up time.

Teach them some of the "tricks" to multiplication (like doing the nines on your fingers) or I have some songs for algebraic equations if you want them.
or
Teach them a magic trick.

Pass out a half dozen potatoes and a box of soda straws. Show them a sample with a straw stuck through a potato and ask them to do the same without doing anything to the potato first. Just poke it through.

The “trick”, is to hold a finger over the end of the straw as you *STAB* the straw in a straight line, with a full arm swing, into the target. The physics is simply the compressed gas (air) inside the straw causes the wall to become as ridged as steel pipe, with a razor thin edge. It’s very easy with today’s plastic straws and can even be done with the old wrapped paper ones.

The lesson is “What appears improbable is easy when you know how”.



If a couple pictures would help, I can take them when I get a few minutes.





NOTE:
(Poke straight!!! They’ll go through your hand too. )
