In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the traditional face-to-face teaching method was switched to online teaching all over the country. The fatigue that students had to suffer during the long-lasting on-screen lessons at the university did urge the researcher to find ways to motivate students and help them walk out of the state of drowsiness. This action research is to suggest the warm-up interactive activities that the researcher used in her classes at a public university during 15 weeks of one semester. The activities are the mixture of online games and power point games. One survey was delivered at the end of the course to find out students’ perception on the effectiveness of the warm-up activities. The findings show that most of the students were energized by the warm-up activities and did feel regretful if they missed the beginning of the lessons.
