Energizers are activities done in between sessions in
training or during a class. The purpose of the
energizer is essentially to awaken a sleeping
audience or activate a jaded audience.
Energizers are typically done right after lunch and
mid-afternoon breaks when energy tend to be low.
The energizer can be connected to the content or
just a movement exercise.

in the east African nation, where ethnic violence left more than
1,000 people dead after disputed elections four years ago.
"The whole point is to unite Kenyans in one action and provoke
reflection about personal responsibility," said organizer Al Kags.
"We decided to go with the national anthem because it is the main
prayer that binds us together. It's a clarion call that transcends all
boundaries -- physical, mental, tribal, you name it."
Francis Mwiwa, 29, crawled out of bed to join in the singing from
the Toronto suburb of Brampton. "At the very least, I hope singing
the national anthem together jolts regular Kenyans into looking at
the big picture," Mwiwa said. "Ethnic and tribal differences are
obsolete. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves, we should be busy
competing with the rest of the world."
The movement started on social media, and later expanded offline.
