In this segment, Tom Krieglstein presents a strategy for making icebreaker activities more engaging by incorporating music that sets the desired tone. He explains that slower beats per minute (BPM) encourage reflective states, which are useful when participants need to write or think internally. Classical music is cited as a traditional option for slower tempos, but Krieglstein shares his personal preference for instrumental hip‑hop—hip‑hop tracks without lyrics—as an effective, modern alternative for creating a reflective atmosphere during group activities.

However, I have found actually that I like to use instrumental hip hop, meaning hip hop music without the lyrics.
