Down the Rabbit Hole

QUESTION 04

Keep it professional...

It needs to be repeated: remind participants to keep their answers work appropriate. Then, ask everyone to share what rabbit holes they have gone down lately. If they aren't too embarrassed to share, of course!

Cheer Each Other On

QUESTIONS 05

Let's hear it!

This is a simple question, but it may take more time if participants are willing to share. People can simply share a name, or can explain why if they would like. Who is someone in your life you want to celebrate this month? Someone who made your life better?

Gather 'Round for Storytime

ACTIVITY 01

Once upon a time...

There's no one exact way to run this, so feel free to adapt once you are comfortable.

• A volunteer starts by saying a sentence. The next person picks up the story and adds their own sentence. Continue going around until you have finished the story or until everyone has had a turn.
• If there are too many meeting particpants, make smaller groups in breakout rooms.
