The activity we are doing is laughter yoga.

Laughter Yoga involves a series of movement and breathing exercises to promote deliberate laughter. It is used as a remedy for physical, psychological and spiritual ailments (Davidson, 2021).

Laughter exercises are a serious of movements, stretches, chants and breathing techniques that are designed to encourage laughter. There are no jokes involved, the laughter comes solely as a result of the exercises (Origym, 2021).
