Variation
- After the participants have generated each idea and written it on a Post-it®, tell
them to pass their ideas to the person to the right (that is, write down one idea
and pass it to the right, write down the second and pass it on, and so forth). - Indicate that they should use each idea passed to them for possible stimulation of
a new idea. If the idea passed triggers a new idea, have them write it on a new
Post-it®and then pass both on to the next person to the right. (If someone can’t
think of a new idea based on the idea passed to him or her, tell the person not to
worry and just pass on the idea to the next person.) - Have them continue this process until at least five ideas have gone around the
group once.
