Choose a purposeful task.
A team challenge, shared project or skill exchange should connect with the group’s intended outcomes. Explain the task and agree how everyone can contribute.
Make participation possible.
Consider the group’s interests, communication needs and relationships. Offer different ways to take part rather than rewarding only the most confident voices.
Reflect on the experience.
Ask what helped the group work together and what they would change. The learning comes from the conversation as well as the completed activity.
