What's True For Me

Instructions

To begin, you are going to read the below prompts. Feel free to make some of these your own or maybe tailer to them to your audience. 

For in-person - 

• Have the group form a circle or have everyone be seated. 

• After each prompt, invite them to step into the circle, stand up or raise their hand if the statement is true for them. 

  • Make sure you are creating an inclusive experience for your participants. Shift to hand raising if that is most appropriate in case participants are unable to stand or walk 

For virtual - 

• Have everyone turn off their cameras

• After each prompt, invite them to turn on their camera or use the raise hand feature on zoom if the statement is true for them. 

  • Ensure that participants will be engaging rather than passively watching
