Sticky Dots
Author: Ilse Fraussen
Facilitated by the teacher
The aim is to use thought-showering to quickly create the best ideas for a challenge.
5-10 mins
Groups of 2-10
Whiteboard, sticky dots, pens & post-its
Steps
- The students thought-shower their ideas for the challenge and write them on the whiteboard. They should give a short explanation of each idea they suggest.
- All students are given 3 sticky dots each which they place on the ideas they prefer. They can stick their 3 dots on 3 different ideas or all on the same idea.
- After 5 minutes, all the dots on each idea are counted and the one with the most dots is the winner.
- The students then form groups to debate why one idea was selected over the others and explain why this one was chosen.
Reflection
The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
