Rollercoaster Check-In
This playful method creates a powerful shared picture of the feelings in the group. Checking-in is a simple way for a team to start a meeting, workshop, or activity. By using the metaphor of a rollercoaster this alternative version supports participants to think differently about how they are feeling. People place themselves at different points on the rollercoaster, explaining their dominant feeling right now.

Sesión sobre el codesarrollo
El codesarrollo es una metodología de la inteligencia colectiva. Se trata de un enfoque de desarrollo para profesionales en el que los participantes aprenden unos de otros y consolidan sus prácticas. Las sesiones de tormenta de ideas llevadas a cabo, a título individual y en grupo, se apoyan en un ejercicio estructurado de consultas sobre cuestiones vividas por los miembros del grupo.

Le co-développement est une méthodologie d'intelligence collective. C'est une démarche de développement pour professionnels au cours de laquelle les participants apprennent les uns des autres et consolident leur pratique. Le brainstorming réalisé, individuellement et avec le groupe, est favorisé par un exercice structuré de concertation en rapport avec les problématiques rencontrées par les membres du groupe.
Seven Words
Ever heard the cliché, “It's not what you say, but how you say it”? The Seven Words jolt dramatically demonstrates this principle. You demonstrate how the meaning of a sentence changes as you emphasize different words. Later, you invite pairs of participants to explore this concept.
Shake Down
In this short and very physical energizer, the group shakes out their bodies one limb at a time. Starting with eight shakes of the right arm, then eight shakes of the left, eight shakes of the right leg, then eight shakes of the left. It continues with a round of four shakes of each limb, then two, then one, ending in a big cheer. A good energizer when time is limited and the main aim is to get people moving.
Show Us Your Tech
Participants set up their virtual workspace and tech configurations based on facilitator recommendations or online guides. Next, they take photos of their workspaces and tech. Finally, they share their set up and live video in the virtual session, which could also be spun into a competition.
Signature Strengths
A positive psychology exercise that helps participants discover and apply their core character strengths in new and meaningful ways. Based on research by Seligman and colleagues, this activity boosts long-term well-being and reduces depressive symptoms by encouraging daily strength-based action.
Participants complete the VIA strengths questionnaire, reflect on their top strengths, and develop practical ways to apply one of them in new contexts during the coming week.
Ideal for personal development, coaching, and strengths-based workshops, this exercise promotes increased motivation, happiness, and a more conscious relationship with oneself.
Sink or... sail, swim, surf and scuba!
This fun activity allows participants to follow instructions on a MURAL whiteboard to perform a variety of activities and eventually share their name and location. You can use this as a short ice-breaker or energiser (remove some of the activities) or as either pre-work or an opening activity to make sure that everyone knows how to use MURAL before an online session begins.
A MURAL template is included for you to use and modify as you wish (at the bottom of this method).
