Rapid Review - Free Energiser
Rapid Review - Free Energiser is a team reflection exercise for reflection and learning: it helps participants reflect on experience and turn observations into learning.
How to run it
- Tell the participants that you would like to check their memory of the key issues by performing a rapid review.
- You will quickly work your way around the room asking each participant in turn to shout out a key word or statement that represents something from the training so far. While they are doing this you will quickly write these points on a flipchart.
- Keep the energy up for this review by quickly moving from participant to participant saying, ‘that’s one, thanks, next’ etc. throughout.
- In review - discuss each point on the flipchart and explore in more detail where necessary. Ask participants if there are any key points given by others that they had not considered and if so, why did they not think of them?
- Finally, ask each person to pick their key point - They might like to add this to their action plan or learning log.
