The Accelerated Learning Handbook Quotes

“5. Question Ball Give each person a full sheet of blank paper. Ask everyone to write a question that they have on the paper. Ask them to print their question so someone else can easily read it and to not sign their name. Have them ball up the paper. You can then collect the question balls in a bucket and redistribute them by throwing one to every person in the class. Or if the group needs a physical energizer, you can ask them to stand up and have a snowball fight with the question balls, seeing how many people they can hit in 30 seconds. Then, at a signal, ask everyone to pick up a ball, open it, and use any person or resource in the room to help answer the question on it. After a few minutes, ask everyone to read their question to the class and give its answer. The facilitator and the other learners can comment as necessary.”
