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.

Come eseguirlo

1
Introduce the topic or question to the group.
2
Give a small token to the first volunteer who wants to respond.
3
After responding, the volunteer passes the token to another participant who has not yet spoken.
4
Continue until all participants have had a chance to speak.

Suggerimenti

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.

Variazioni

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.
