Partners can do a series of things to get warmed up with one another:
-grab one wrist of partner and try to smack them in the face while they try to hold you back
-partner gets on "piggy back" and trys to go in a complete circle around their partner
-One partner lies on stomach on ground and other lies on top and tries to keep partner from getting up
-partners stand back to back, lock arms, and try to sit down/stand back up
-partners stand back to back, lock arms, and try to touch each others' shoulders to the ground
