​

Picture
Instructions (About 20 Minutes):​
  • Split up into four groups.
  • A question or thought is written on each poster sheet/chart paper.
  • Each group is given a coloured marker and will line up behind their starting sheet.
  • The first round is 2 minutes and the following rounds may be reduced to 1.5 minutes.
  • When the timer starts the whole group works in silence (play music).
  • An individual writes an answer, idea, or thought on the paper and passes the marker to the next person in line (you may put a “check” by an idea that you agree with (consider giving everyone 2 stickers to limit the check marks and generate more ideas).
  • After 2 minutes, keep your marker, all groups rotate to a different sheet.
  • Repeat until complete.
  • Post sheets for review later.
  • Debrief the process of the protocol.​​
