Hi, I’m Olly,

your host


A group assesses ideas by giving a comparative score out of 7 during 5 rounds that includes swapping and pairing

up with a different person each round

Here’s an overview of 35


10 - 30

players


about 30 minutes


You’ll need a small blank card - one for each person.

And space for people to stand and walk around as

a group


And, don’t forget...


Intention is most important when deciding what activities to use


...need anonymous participation...want to rank ideas quickly

...want people to engage with each other’s ideas

Play 35 when you...


Game Flow


Step 1

Propose a question or topic and ask each person to write a response on their blank card


Step 2

Demonstrate the scoring process


SCORINGTwo cards are compared and each given a score out of 7. The more important a card, the higher the score.

NO fractions!

Possible scores are 7 & 0, 6 & 1, 5 & 2, 4 & 3


Step 3

Invite everyone to stand up and bring their card and a pen.

Start swapping cards - and don’t stop to read them.

After 30 seconds or so ask everyone to pair up, score

their cards and write the score on the back.

Do this 5 times in total.Friday, 19 June 2009

Step 4

After the fifth round ask each person to add up the total

score for their card.

Then line up from the lowest to the highest score.

Read out the cards - from lowest to highest.


Oh, and there’s some

variations...


Variations

With a small group, or when you have little time, just do 3

rounds.

If you have an odd number of people you will always have a group of 3. Tell them to score their three cards out of 10.


Debrief

questions


What themes or patterns

have emerged?

What new information did you gain?

What does this tell us about our similarities

and differences?What else...?
