Make your responses snappy!
Your challenge is to say something about the clips, improvise with them, or both.
You have 1 minute to think and 5 minutes to respond. You may ask the judges questions once time begins; however, time will continue. You are not allowed to talk to each other at any time.
There are 35 items and two containers on the table. Before you give a response, you will place one of the items in a container.
Speak loudly and clearly. Once time begins, it will not be stopped. You should not repeat a response that has already been given. You may respond as often as you wish, and in any order, but must place an item in a container before each response you give. You will be finished when response time ends or when you have used all of the items.
Each of you has 2 snack bag clips. You can use them any way you want, but you cannot damage them.
Your problem is to say something about the clips, improvise with them, or both.
For example, you might pretend to bite your finger and say "Yum Yum, an OMer for lunch", or "My Doritos will go stale now".
Setup:
Place two containers and spread 35 items randomly on the table within reach of all team members. Make sure team members surrender an item with each response. These items may be poker chips, coins, tokens, etc.
Place 2 snack bag clips on the table in front of each team member - the clips do not need to be identical.
Be sure to give exactly 1 minute to think and 5 minutes to respond. Timing is critical. Team members responding as time ends may finish their response and be scored.
Scoring:
You will receive 1 point for each common response and 5 points for each creative response.
Debrief:
Did the team use the clips creatively or follow along with their usual associations?
Did the team manage time well?
How were some of the responses more creative? Actions, puns etc.
Try video recording the session and have team score themselves.
