'Which are You and Why?' Thumball

Choose between two opposites

The Which Are You Thumball requires players to chose between two opposite characteristics or preferences.  They may find it's easy to choose one extreme or the other. If it is, or if it's not, encourage them to explain where they fall on the continuum and why. Invite them to share examples or expand on their answer with analogies to their personality or work style.

Use the Which are You and Why? Thumball prompts to understand where each person is on a variety of spectrums. It's a creative and playful way to get to know each other.

Just look under your thumb and share your reaction to the prompt. Discuss where on the spectrum you'd put yourself, and why! Thumball is a 6" stuffed ball that looks like a soccer ball, but is soft and safe to use at work, school and home.

Facilitation Suggestions

Explain The Which Are You Thumball requires players to chose between two opposite characteristics or preferences.  They may find it's easy to choose one extreme or the other. If it is, or if it's not, encourage them to explain where they fall on the continuum and why. Invite them to share examples or expand on their answer with analogies to their personality or work style.

If you want to kick it up a notch, try these creative twists:

1. Specify that answers should relate specifically to personal or workplace experiences.
2. Ask first recipient to select an answer panel to which all players must respond or contribute.
3. Survey players on several question panels, then create charts or graphs that reflect the cumulative responses.
