Engage your audience by asking questions. It prompts them to think of an answer, as their brains can’t help but engage. If energy wanes, pose a question and invite a response.

Reward participation with small candy treats. When someone contributes, toss them a piece of candy?"chocolate often works wonders. It turns engagement into a fun game, sparking competition for rewards.
