The objectives are to build team connections through creative self-expression, identify team strengths and complementary skills, create a relaxed atmosphere for sharing, and celebrate individual contributions.
The outcomes are playing Designer Top Trumps, team bonding, and fun learning.
Emphasize that this is about celebrating strengths, not comparing or competing. Provide an example card to set the tone – make yours lighthearted and fun. Remind participants that artistic ability doesn't matter; simple drawings work great. If anyone struggles, help them identify strengths through conversation. Keep the energy positive and supportive during sharing. This works well as a team kickoff or after major milestones. Consider keeping the cards displayed in the team workspace as an ongoing reminder of collective capabilities. Sometimes, participants might feel awkward sharing personal details; encourage them to focus on skills and strengths they bring to the team.
