- 2Play one sound at a time; group guesses the source.
- 3Reveal and share a quick story behind the sound.
Facilitator Guide
Opening Script:
"Cue up a 3–5 second everyday sound. When I say go, play it once; the group guesses. Then reveal and share a one‑line story."
Closing Script:
"Nice variety! These small artifacts spark curiosity—keep them short to sustain momentum."
Why This Works
Audio cues are novel on calls and prompt quick hypothesis‑making. The reveal invites personal stories without requiring deep disclosure.
Best For
- Remote energizers
- Icebreakers with minimal prep
- Mixed‑camera meetings
Important Notes
- Normalize low volume and one‑at‑a‑time playback
- Avoid copyrighted music; prefer self‑made sounds
- Share alternatives for low‑audio setups (describe instead)
