Facilitator & access notes

Use questions people can answer comfortably; allow passing, noncompetitive play and seated participation.

How to facilitate it

  1. Give each person a small set of open questions or a simple find-someone-who sheet.
  2. Invite people to meet a different partner for each prompt, including people who prefer to remain seated.
  3. Stop at the agreed time and invite a few discoveries without making anyone’s disclosures public unexpectedly.

Reflection prompts

  • Notice: What did this activity reveal about how we work together?
