Energisers for class and team

After lunch, in the sixth period, halfway through a training day — the energy runs out. An energiser about nothing costs five minutes plus the thread of the lesson; these structures bring movement back with the content as fuel. Stand up if you agree, quiz each other with cards on the move. The group is awake and not a minute of substance is lost.
