TGL: April 2006 is a relationship mapping exercise that helps participants build useful connections and understand how people, roles, or ideas relate.
How to run it
- Example: We have five teams, A to E.
- Assign age groups. Explain that each team will represent a specific age level. Assign the age groups according to this list:
- If you have more teams, add other groups such as committee members, conference attendees, chapter members, international members, and student members. Use as many membership groups as you have teams.
- Present the plans. Blow the whistle at the end of 9 minutes, and ask teams to post their plans on convenient areas of the wall. Invite all participants to take a gallery walk and review the plans from other teams.
