When this is the room
Group seems tired/disengaged
Energy Drop
The room has gone flat: slower answers, more phone glances, people sinking into their chairs. Sitting still for too long does this on its own, and no amount of enthusiasm from the front will fix it. Change what bodies are doing before you change what the group is discussing.
Say this — right now
Try: Stand & Stretch, Walk & Talk, or a 2-min energizer from your library.
Word for word is fine. The room won't know.
