    Thank you for your recent blog post with a 1 hour program. It did not all completely work for my group, but I decided to try some new things. I did start with this activity, on one table is they arrived and on a second table I had some wordles laid out for them to solve. It’s funny to watch people’s reaction to numbers versus letters. However, once they got started they love these. I have two pairs laminated and planned to use them regularly. Thank you so much for the suggestion and resource

    What an amazing ‘Walk in Activity’. I use this activity a lot at workshops to spark conversations as delegates are arriving. Conversations always flow and bit by bit delegates breakdown barriers and find common links between each other.
