With this drill you can be creative - give the players new instructions when you think of them, they should expect to hear instructions that they have not heard before. When first given novel instructions, players might look confused - but we want them thinking, we want their mind as warm not just their body, and we want them used to deciphering problems, not just doing what they are told.

Novel instructions (use sparingly so the players have to figure them out)
