Everyone takes turns to answer the question: if you could be any animal, what would you be, and why?

How to do it

As the facilitator, you might find that some people will baulk at this question; after all, what’s the point of thinking of yourself as an animal? You can be ready to explain that the workshop or meeting we’re about to have needs everyone to get a bit creative, to think laterally, and to explore different options and perspectives. This is a simple prompt to help get into that mindset.
