Don't Think
Part of Deeper Joy
Take aways may include: sharing low risk details about yourself, learning about others.
Parameters: more than 2 people, can be done in person, or on video call
Materials: Index cards or scratch paper if doing this in person. For video call, search for something like "simple custom deck of cards to shuffle and draw from" like VirtuDeck.
The facilitator writes a bunch of prompts with blanks on cards (Ex: My favorite food right now is ____, a movie that I could watch over and over again is ____, my favorite place at church is ____, etc) and puts them in a basket/hat. The facilitator identifies someone to answer, then draws one card and reads it out loud. The person answers with the first thing that pops into their head, or passes. Play continues around the circle until everyone has answered that question. Play continues as long as it's fun.
Variation: Participants pick their own cards, without looking. Then go in a circle and each person answers what's on their card.
Variation: Participants pick a card then ask another group member to answer it.
Variation: Play is timed and the object of the game is to finish a round as fast as the group can.
