Curiosity Ping Pong

Engaging strategy that promotes random interaction.

  • Very simple
  • Honours choice
  • Fosters engagement
  • Invites sharing
  • Ideal for online settings

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Pose a question to your group, eg What is something strange you believed as a child?
  2. Ask each person to briefly write their response into the Chatroom, but not hit the Enter key.
  3. When ready, invite your group to hit the Enter key at the same time to populate the Chatroom simultaneously with their responses.
  4. Allow up to a minute for your group to scan the many responses.
  5. Invite a volunteer to choose one response they are curious to learn more about and ask its author to describe the story behind it.
  6. When this person has shared (audibly,) ask them to choose another response that they are curious about and invite its author to share their story, and so on.
  7. If a nominated person chooses not to share, simply ask the current volunteer to pick another response they are curious about.
  8. Continue sharing for 10 or more minutes.
