Coloured Ball Debrief
Wonderfully creative and random way to debrief your group’s experience.
At A Glance
Participants are asked to randomly pull a ball out of a bag, the colour of which will direct the focus of their response.
What You Need
- Selection of balls (different colours) or other multi-coloured items.
- Form one large or several small groups.
- Everyone standing or sitting in a circle.
What To Do
I love to use this technique because it’s creative and produces totally random results.
It may sound like… “In a moment, I will pull a series of balls out of this hat. Each of the balls is a different colour, and each colour represents something in particular about today’s lesson. For example, when I pull a yellow ball out of the hat I want you to share a highlight, if I pull a black ball I want you to share something about today you didn’t like, if I pull a red ball I want you to share something you saw someone else do today, or if I pull a blue ball, I want you to share something you learned today. Okay, our first ball is…”
Variations
- Choose to direct each question for the whole group to answer.
- Pass the bag around the circle so each person can pull their own coloured ball.
- Return the ball back into the bag after each response.
