How to run it

  1. 1

    Provide each participant with one red card and one green card.

  2. 2

    Explain that the green card indicates approval or agreement, while the red card signals disapproval or disagreement.

  3. 3

    During discussions or presentations, ask participants to hold up the appropriate card to express their response to specific questions or topics.

  4. 4

    Promptly address any visible disagreement or confusion signaled by red cards, allowing time for discussion if needed.

Tips

  • Encourage participants to use the cards freely to ensure honest and immediate feedback.

  • Be vigilant and responsive to red cards to address concerns promptly.

  • This method works best in large groups where verbal feedback from everyone is impractical.

Variations

Consider adding yellow and gray cards to represent neutrality or confusion, providing more nuanced feedback options.
