Round Robin

Directions

1. Give each participant a large sheet of paper. Ask them to fold the paper so that it is divided into four equal sections.
2. With the paper in a vertical position, ask the group to write the name of their idea at the top of the paper.
3. Give them 5 minutes to outline, draw, and/or explain their idea in the top left box with enough detail that someone can understand it without further explanation.
4. Once time has passed, ask everyone to pass their paper to the person on their left.
5. Give participants approximately 8 minutes to look at the idea and, in the next section on the paper, develop it further, ask questions, and offer suggestions and alternatives.
6. Repeat steps four and five until all sections of the paper are full.

  Note: In a virtual space? No worries. Use a virtual whiteboard, slides, or a simple shared document to facilitate and gather ideas.
