Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In advance, visit the Resources tab to download a set of Print+Play Must Choose question cards.
  2. Form pairs.
  3. Pose a question in which each person must choose between two distinct (often opposing) options, eg do you prefer Coke or Pepsi?
  4. Each person considers their choice and shares this decision with their partner.
  5. Next, each person predicts the preference of the majority of people in their group, and shares this prediction with their partner.
  6. When ready, ask everyone to stand to one side of a space (or the other) according to their personal choice to determine the majority preference of the group.
  7. Each person who accurately predicts the group’s (majority) preference earns a point.
  8. Repeat this process, asking as many questions as you have time or energy to explore.
