The Post-Lunch Revival
When This Happens
Participants are sluggish and distracted after lunch, struggling to focus on the afternoon session.
How To Do It — Stand-Up-and-Share
- 1.Ask everyone to stand up and find a partner they haven't spoken to today.
- 2.Give them a fun, low-stakes prompt to discuss for 2 minutes.
- 3.Have each pair share one interesting thing they learned with the group.
- 4.Transition directly into the next agenda item while energy is high.
What To Say
Alright, I can see the post-lunch fog rolling in. Everyone stand up — yes, right now! Find someone you haven't talked to yet today. You have 2 minutes to discuss: [prompt, e.g., "What's the most surprising thing you've learned this week?"]. Go!
Pro Tip
The physical act of standing and moving is what breaks the slump. The prompt is secondary — keep it light and fun.
