participants create 10-slide presentations about anything they’d like and each person confidently delivers someone else’s presentation, sight-unseen
(one of the many connection games I’ve accumulated)
Facilitator tips:
- 10 slides, no builds, nothing clearly offensive
- google slides or canva is easiest way to build + share without tech hassle
- donβt spend too long on the slides, just grab free images online
- speaking advice: present with total confidence, as if this is your well rehearsed TED talk. no staring at the slides or
- reading the slides verbatim. glance at the slides and then bullshit your way to victory. take your time with each slide rather than speeding through them. 10 to 30 seconds for each slide is a good length.
- building advice: make the slides simple with large text, or only images. narrative structures work, random images are harder but sometimes work. in-group references are usually fun. make the final slide obvious (people forget what slide theyβre on).
- if you choose to allow builds, set a limit, or be ready for mayhem
Thanks to Meryl in South Lake Tahoe for introducing me to this game!
