Facilitator Guide

Opening Script:

"Use word tiles to assemble a 1–3 line poem. Iterate on others’ lines respectfully. We’ll read a few favorites at the end."

Closing Script:

"What constraints sparked better lines—limited verbs, themes, or rhyme? Capture a couple for future creative jams."

Why This Works

Low‑stakes co‑creation unlocks play and voice. Shared constraints balance contribution across personalities.
