In an ISW where we had limited cards and ended up having limited time to do the thank-you cards, I tried the following:
- Gave the participants regular index cards (5 * 3 in, or larger, if available) at the beginning of Day 3 SG session
- As icebreaker, asked them to draw their ‘ideal teaching environment’ on the blank side of the card
- Collected the cards for the time being and told them that we’re going to do something fun with them at the end of the day
- At the end of the day, gave the cards back to the participants, asked them to pass their card to the next person, and asked them to write one or two words that expresses what they admire in that person
The process takes considerably less time than a conventional thank-you card, and the resulting cards can be very creative and inspiring!
