3-12-3 Brainstorm

This is a brainstorming exercise with a “ticking clock” that forces spontaneous, quick-fire decisions and doesn’t allow for overthinking.
Facilitator Instructions:
1) Start with a topic: This topic can come from the Post Up game.
2) Generate Ideas (3 min): Each player generates as many "nouns and verbs" related to the topic (start the timer for this exercise).
3) Select teams and develop concepts (12 min): Select teams of 2, select 3 random ideas for each team, and have teams develop concepts based on those 3 ideas.
4) Present (3 min/team): Each team reveals their ideas and presents their concepts
