One Word

The exercise consists of “opening up” people at the meeting using the technique of providing one word. It causes a lot of interaction and stimulates the imagination. The technique involves providing one word that will complete a sentence given by the facilitator. This sentence can be about any topic, related to a challenge, or a casual story.

How to conduct this exercise?

Step 1:
Present the rules and the problem / sentence

Present the rules of the exercise. Each person provides 1 word that completes the sentence. If discussions arise, or someone does not provide a word, you start from the beginning. Then give an unfinished sentence, e.g.: This morning…

Step 2:
The next person speaks

The next person (either alphabetically, or randomly whoever volunteers) adds one word to this sentence.

Step 3:
Summary after the round ends

After the round ends (everyone has spoken), present the whole sentence and move on to the topic of the meeting
