Each member of a team receives an equal number of chips (or index cards, tokens, cubes, etc.).
When a team member wishes to talk during the group discussion, that person places a chip into the center of the table or in a cup.
When individuals run out of chips, they cannot talk anymore and practice listening.
The discussion continues until all members of the group have used all of their chips.
