Celebrate progress (Woohoos!), burndowns, impediments removed, etc Offer Food, coffee: better if it is not routine but a special thing Random stuff is helpful (though switching the time of standup is generally not helpful, it's confusing) Ask "How are you feeling?" Tell a story, a personal anecdote to start the meeting When someone leaves for a few days and comes back, tell them to bring back a tacky toy Whoever speaks first says thank you after the meeting Welcome people to standup Use "speed dating method" for impediments. Ask who has an impediment and then who can help them Bring a joke to standup (look up on internet) Create a non-human enemy (Someone mentioned a vista machine that was the enemy on the project) Ask, "how are we doing this morning?"
