There are two main ways of using this activity: one is to have pre- prepared cards with information on them that you want the participants to consider; the other is to ask participants to write their own comments\/ideas\/reflections\/insights on a card.<\/p>
You will need a supply of small cards, one for each person. Each person will need a pen or pencil, there needs to be space for people to freely move around, and a bell or whistle or music to indicate when to swap the cards and when to stop.<\/p>
\u2022 Introduce the topic to be explored\u2028
\u2022 Either hand out the pre-prepared cards, or invite participants to select a key insight\/comment\/question and write it on one side of a small index card\u2028
\u2022 Explain the voting procedure \u2013 in pairs they will be giving each of the two cards a score out of 7 (no halves allowed, 7 = highest score)\u2028
\u2022 Everybody stands \u2013 they each have their card and a pen\u2028
\u2022 Ask people to start swapping their card with others<\/p>
(keep this happening at a fast pace, calling out Swap! Swap! Swap! Avoid people trying to read as they swap)<\/p>
\u2022 After 30 seconds or so ring the bells and form random pairs. Vary the time for swapping with each round.<\/p>
\u2022 Compare the statements on the two cards and allocate points out of 7. Write the score on the back of the card.<\/p>
\u2022 Start swapping again and continue until 5 rounds have been completed.<\/p>
\u2022 Ask participants to add up the scores on the back of the card they have in the final round. The maximum score is 35.<\/p>
\u2022 Hear what\u2019s written on the cards from the highest score to the lowest.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
