Time box: 1 hour
Materials: easel pad paper, markers, sticky notes and a team ready to have some fun.
This is a really fun activity that engages individuals and helps them identify ways they can help each other grow inside of a team structure. This activity takes about an hour at minimum. Leave enough time to really let participants dig in and get creative.
Setting the stage: Imagine you are at an open air market and you are setting up your booth. You want to “sell” your wares. So on your easel pad paper come up with a “Booth Name” then split it into the following three sections. First, you have your “Top of the Booth Skills”. These are skills you use every day that the team can depend on you to provide. Next, you will show them you “Below the counter skills”. These are the skills not many people know you have but could come in quite handy if utilized correctly. The third section will be your “ISO (In Search Of) Skills”. These are the things you want to learn or skills you want to gain.
After everyone sets up their “booths” it’s time to shop! Everyone will grab a pad of stickies and wander around hunting down skills they can offer and want to gain.
When you are done you may have something that looks like this:
