This learning activity is a technique for voting and recognizing levels of agreement among a group of people in an open and non-threatening way.
A number of statements/strategies to deal with something are placed on flip-over sheets around the room (possibly the result of a group brainstorm in smaller sub-groups). Students receive a number of little stickers that they can stick to the option they prefer. After every student has placed their stickers, the “votes” are counted and the statements with the most stickers will ‘win’.
This activity can also be used to establish ground rules for interaction, making sure all students are heard, or it can be a shorter exercise half way the course to determine what students still need in order to feel safe and included.
