Activity race

Activity race is a useful tool to collect feedback in a very simple, quick and effective way. By using the Activity race tool, the facilitator can figure out how the proposed experience is going. In a few minutes they can understand which are the most successful activities and why they are working better than others.

Tools

  • Sticky notes

Steps

  • The facilitator lists the activities he would like to test on a flip chart, writing them one below the other.
  • The facilitator asks each partecipant to “vote” three activities: the one they like the most, the most useful one and the easiest one. (Take care to fournish sticky-notes of three different colours).
  • The partecipants “votes” the activities by sticking their notes right beside the selected activities. On each stiky-note they will explain the reason for their vote in one sentence.
  • The facilitator ends the activity by promoting reflection and discussion about the experience.

Tips

  • The facilitator can choose to collect explanations of “votes” verbally instead of asking participants to write them on the sticky-notes.
  • The facilitator can use this activity both at the end of the learning path and during the learning path, in order to collect instant feedback on the activities.
  • This activity works well in large and small groups of work.
  • The facilitator can ask the participant to express only one “vote” in order to shorten the time needed for the activity.
