Themes: Offering affirmation and collaborating as a group.

Participants: Any number, in person or online.

Conspire with each other to plan a kind surprise for someone that will brighten their day. If working in teams, one group can pull a “reverse prank” on another, focusing on affirmation and joy rather than embarrassment. Decide together what will feel welcoming for the recipient, confirm consent and accessibility needs, and set simple roles and a timeline. Examples include appreciative notes, a short thank-you video, a decorated doorway or virtual background, a favorite song cue, or a small pre-approved delivery. Carry out the surprise, then briefly reflect as a group on what it was like to plan and offer the surprise.
