.Divide participants into small groups and give each member of a group a pad ofPost-it® Notes and pens or pencils.2.Ask group members to write down ideas individually on their Post-its withoutsharing them with others.Stress that they should write down only one idea perPost-it.Allow no more than 10 minutes for this step.101 Activities for Teaching Creativity and Problem Solving338TLFeBOOK 11 VG 329-354b 10/6/04 1:07 PM Page 3393.Have each individual read aloud, in turn, one of his or her ideas.4.Tell the other group members to write down, on a Post-it, any new ideas thatmight come to mind (one idea per note).5.Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until each group member has read aloud at least one of his orher ideas.If you want more ideas, have them repeat the round.6.Instruct the groups to collect and group the ideas into categories of relatedthemes, using a flip chart or a wall.7.Ask the participants to form new groups of two or three people, brainstorm ideasfor the themes at their new tables, and write the ideas on Post-it® Notes, one ideaper note.8.After one hour or less, ask each group to sort its ideas by themes and presentthem to the larger group.Write down these ideas on a flip chart or overhead trans-parencies visible to all.9.Have the participants form new groups of ten people, brainstorm ways toimprove the ideas listed, write them down on Post-its (one idea per note), andplace them on flip charts for evaluation.Debrief/DiscussionThis exercise introduces several wrinkles into a brainwriting/brainstorming processthat should yield a fairly large number of ideas.It takes advantage of the strengths ofboth brainwriting and brainstorming while mixing up group composition.This latter feature can be effective to keep groups from becoming stale and to continu-ally bring in new perspectives.A downside to changing group composition is that groupsthat are clicking together and cranking out ideas fluently could be broken up and losetheir productivity when combined with others.Also consider having participants debrief using the following questions:" What was most helpful about this exercise?" What was most challenging?" What can we apply?" How would you rate the value of this exercise to helping us with this issue?" Will this exercise be helpful in the future for other sessions?" What did you learn?" What will we be able to use from this exercise?"

Objectives" To help participants generate as many creative ideas as possible" To help participants learn how to use the activities to generate ideasParticipantsSmall groups of four to seven people eachMaterials, Supplies, and Equipment" For each group: markers, two flip charts, and masking tape for posting flip-chartsheets" For each person: one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper (lined or unlined) and pens or pencils.Procedure1.Give each group member one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper.2.Tell them to silently write down, individually, four ideas on the sheet of paper.3.Instruct each group member to place the sheet of paper in the center of the tableand exchange it for another sheet.4.Instruct participants to examine the ideas on the new sheet and write downimprovements or new ideas.5.Have them place this sheet in the center of the table and exchange it for a new one.101 Activities for Teaching Creativity and Problem Solving340TLFeBOOK 11 VG 329-354b 10/6/04 1:07 PM Page 3416.After 10 to 15 minutes of this activity, tell them to collect the idea sheets and tapethem to flip charts for evaluation.Debrief/DiscussionIdea Pool is another quick way to generate a relatively large number of ideas in a shorttime.As with Brain Purge, Idea Pool relies on the ideas of others to help trigger new ones.It differs, however, in that each person has at least four ideas to respond to as stimuli.Also consider having participants debrief using the following questions:" What was most helpful about this exercise?" What was most challenging?" What can we apply?" How would you rate the value of this exercise to helping us with this issue?" Will this exercise be helpful in the future for other sessions?"
