    Hi, I used this tool today as part of debrief of Moon Ball. It was wonderful, expecially for the more introverted teammates. It created space for every voice to be heard. The exercise offers so much choice and the opportunity to collaborte with various group members.
    thanks for this thoughtful exercise.

      Excellent stuff Jen, thanks for letting us know.

    Love this!
    Can i check, after each round of scoring, do they shuffle the cards again? so there’s three sets of shuffling?

    • Mark Collard

      Yes, good question David – the cards are shuffled between rounds so that each person receives a card that (a) that is not theirs, and (b) neither partner has seen before. This last point is easier when the group is large. The bottom line, be sure that the pairs are not reviewing their own card at any time.

    Mark, thank you for this technique. I’m looking forward to using it.

    Love this idea! Am going to put this in my “bag of tricks.”

      Excellent Mary. I think it would come in very handy in your coaching. Have fun.
