Some activities require pre-work or preparation by the facilitator to make sure participants have effective group discussions. The following activities require some type of pre-planning. Assign preparation work for before the group discussion takes place to keep participant interest high. This cooperative active learning exercise can be used as a team or individual activity.
Used to analyze a subject, answer a question, or solve a problem, each team or individual receives a different portion of the topic under consideration, becomes an expert, and then shares with the whole group. Jigsaw is effective for:.

To conduct this activity:. An exercise effective for on-line group discussions, entry tickets are short prompts providing facilitators knowledge of how much participants know about the group discussion topic prior to the group meeting.
This activity is useful for:. Some activities work well for a full-session discussion group, as they are comprehensive enough to last for a full sixty to ninety minutes. The following activities can also be shortened and used for only a portion of the discussion group session. These real-life scenarios, presented in narrative form and often involving problem-solving, are most effective when used sequentially, with participants receiving additional information as the case unfolds. Case studies, also called problem-based learning, develop problem solving and decision-making skills, critical thinking skills, and encourage critical reflection.
Create stations and divide the participants into small groups. Each group moves to a station, where they take about ten minutes discussing an idea, issue, or concept, and recording the results of their discussion on a white board located at the station. As the groups move from station to station, they base their discussions on what previously has been recorded on the white board.
The activity ends when each group has been to every station. A workshop is effective for introducing and discussing new topics or skills. Participant are allotted time for working on a project or preparing for a specific skill development. Discussion group participants begin this activity by responding to questions or issues posed by facilitator individually. Then they pair up for discussion. Next, they double the size of their group when prompted to do so — every three to five minutes.
Group Discussion Topics & Activities
By the end of the activity, everyone is in the full group. Debate works well when the group discussion topic is a contentious issue. Participants choose to support or oppose the issue by a show of hands and form groups based on their preferences. After they prepare their arguments for or against, have those in the group supporting the issue argue against, and those in the group opposing the issue argue for.

This ten-minute activity asks participants consider a question on their own, and provides an opportunity for participants to discuss it in pairs, and then with the whole class. The procedure is as follows:. The facilitator poses a question with multiple possible answers. Groups of participants receive a worksheet, a single piece of paper, and a pen or pencil. A participant writes down an answer, shares it out loud, and then passes the paper to the person to their left.
This continues until all members of the group have provided an answer. Participants are divided into small groups who summarize their conversation about a topic on a large sheet of newsprint or a whiteboard.
Individual participants read the responses and add their comments and observations. Divide participants into groups of four, numbering each group from one to four. The facilitator poses a question, states an issue, or presents a problem. The participants talk about the question, issue, or problem in their group and prepare a response. Groups of four to six participants create three endings to open-ended statements and then choose one or more to share with the group. After participants form groups of 4 to 5 members, give three minutes of silent time for consideration of the topic.
After they have done so, each group member has three minutes to discuss the topic without interruption. After all group members share, everyone can comment on the shared information. The facilitator introduces a subject or question and participants respond within a set amount of time. The responses are listed on a whiteboard or poster without any comments, elaboration, or criticism until the brainstorming time ends. These three activities prompt participants to write responses to open questions and can be introduced any time during a focused group discussion.
Each activity should take only one or two minutes and focuses on key questions or ideas, or asks participants to make predictions. The facilitator should take time to carefully plan the group discussion questions, avoiding poorly-worded, biased, or awkward questions. Also, avoid overwhelming participants with too many questions, as this confuses and tires them. Short, simple questions work best. Clarify terminology, use clear wording, and make sure all participants understand the questions.
It is also advisable to start with simpler questions and work towards more complex ones. When preparing questions for a focused group discussion, remember to:. Use this list to get your creative juices going. As your group grows and develops, you and your group will begin to find topics and activities you would have never envisioned — and they will be fun, interesting and relevant to your group and to the specific things you are dealing with at that time.

There were not as many topics as I thought there would be, and even fewer that we were interested in using in our group. We did get some ideas, but not enough to really balance the cost if the book I felt. It helps me to think of additional topics. Need more like this. Just pass on and do not get it. LOL I feel a bit mean but that is how nice I can be that someone wasted my money and a time.
It's just questions with no strategy or connection of any topic. It's just who ever wrote it shall be ashamed and keep it to yourself so younger generations could be not as disappointed.
