Spice Up Your Warm-Up

Warm-up fatigue is a real thing. So if you’re dealing with seasoned workshop participants, it takes something new to surprise them. Why not try one of these new questions? They work perfectly fine in a remote setting (e.g. Google Jamboard, Skype Whiteboard or Mural)

The Time machine

If you could go back in time, which period would you go to?

Or use the alternative: If you could meet anyone from the past, who would you like to meet, and why?
