Consensus is a fast social-negotiation game that turns group decision-making into a spectator sport. Each round puts one opinionated question on every phone with four options and a pot of points — but an option only passes on a strict majority, and if the room can't agree, nobody scores. Every player is secretly paid to steer the group toward a different option, so the room has to actually talk, bargain and build coalitions to score at all.
Robo Word Finder sits your team around a giant letter board where little robots walk the tiles, hunting hidden words together. Everyone draws from a single shared pool of letter picks, so nobody can sweep the board alone — someone spots a word, someone walks it, and the team decides together whether it's worth the picks. Quick to teach and easy to drop in, it's a short, collaborative break for a remote team, with boards in nine languages.
Look past whether a team gets along and ask a sharper question: can people here actually disagree and still feel safe? Rooted in the Unity with Others pathway of the Map of Meaning framework, it focuses on the quality of relationships rather than mere presence, whether people can share what matters to them without silencing it. Ideal for team retrospectives, trust-building sessions, and leadership development, wherever a team needs an honest read on belonging rather than a surface-level one.
When you hear about your strengths from others and acknowledge them to yourself, this builds your motivation and self-confidence.
If you do this at the end of a workshop, you go away feeling good about yourself and your colleagues too.
One person is designated as the leader. Others copy exactly how the leader moves. The leader calls on a new person to be the leader, and so on. Follow the follower variation is when the leading gets passed to the entire group and no single person is leading.
Even with established teams, it’s important to get people into the holiday mood and encourage creativity and collaboration.
Assign people into pairs or triads and each pair/triad needs to write one pair of rhyme for the music of a popular song. In this holiday-themed version, we'll ask participants to create a version of Jingle bells.
Whatever the occasion or song, it's a nice twist if they incorporate something in the lyrics that is related to your own company and culture.
One person holds up an object to the camera
The rest of the group is given 8 seconds to find a matching object
The first person decides what is the best match
Remembered objects are used to 'port' between memories
Facilitate a team conversation about personal strengths:
Ask participants to pick from a set of strength card, e.g. one strength each for everyone in the group (or more for small groups)
People take turns to “give” a strength to another team member, share how/when they have seen the strength in the other person and say thank you
Everyone will end up with a set of strengths provided by other team members and feel belonging and appreciation
A well-designed self-reflection & planning tool that helps teams & individuals to review the past year with mindfulness and intention, and set meaningful goals for the year ahead.
Dieses Spiel ist ein bisschen wie Stille Post, nur dass man das Gesagte absichtlich falsch versteht.
Starting a meeting or after a break in a group where participants don't know each other or don't know much about each other
