Break the ice with the Favorites UNZIP-IT Conversation Deck. FAVORITES PROMPTS Although this refers to "favorites," we always recommend asking for "one of your favorites." Somehow, that seems to make it all a bit easier to answer the question. On this deck, which is one of our favorites, you'll find a range of topics including: Locations and destinations Ways to spend time Cuisines Art forms Preferences Because every prompt is about YOU, a topic that most people can answer pretty easily, dialogue and sharing come quickly and easily. PLAYING WITH CONVERSATION DECKS Pairs of 2 or 3 To play, deal a card to each participant. Have participants stand, find a partner, and discuss the questions on each of their cards. When their conversation has run its course, invite them to swap cards and hold their arm in the air, indicating to other players that they're ready to find a new partner. Repeat this process as time allows. Table Talks If your group isn't too big or you want to build camaraderie at a table, have each person in the group choose a card and answer the question. If you have enough time, ask each speaker a couple of follow-up questions. Alternatively, have others at the table answer those same questions for themselves. Then, swap cards, or pick new cards from the top of the deck. [NOTE: Silver Series Conversation Prompts are available as Thumballs, UNZiP-IT! Pocket & Deck, and Virtual/Remote PPT.]
