How It Works

Introduction

Tell the group you’ll say two options. They must choose by moving to one side of the room (or holding up one or two fingers online).

Execution

“Say pairs like “Coffee or Tea?”, “Mountains or Beach?”, “Early Bird or Night Owl?” After each round, ask a few people to explain their choice (optional). Keep it moving and light.”

Debrief/Reflection

You can note how we all differ or find commonalities – but this one’s mostly for fun!

Tips & Variations

  • For online groups: have participants show choices with hand gestures or emojis.
  • Tailor the questions to your workshop theme, e.g., “Structured or Spontaneous?”, “Dreamer or Doer?”
  • Let participants suggest new “this or that” pairs.
