Button

The Button method is a dynamic alternative to the traditional round-robin approach, maintaining engagement by allowing participants to choose who speaks next. This technique ensures that everyone contributes once before anyone speaks again, avoiding predictable and energy-draining patterns.

Tamaño del grupo

small token (e.g., poker chip), index cards

Cómo ejecutarlo

  1. 1

    Introduce the topic or question to the group.

  2. 2

    Give a small token to the first volunteer who wants to respond.

  3. 3

    After responding, the volunteer passes the token to another participant who has not yet spoken.

  4. 4

    Continue until all participants have had a chance to speak.

Consejos

  • Encourage participants to remain attentive by reminding them that they could be called upon at any time.

  • Use the index card variation if you want to add an element of surprise and keep focus sharp.

Variaciones

Instead of a physical token, use index cards where participants write down a keyword and their name. Shuffle these cards and use them to randomly select the next speaker.

Casos de uso
