Reflection Ball Game (deutsch: Reflexions-Ballspiel)

In the Reflection Ball Game, participants can playfully share and reflect on their impressions. A ball is thrown from one person to another, and each person spontaneously expresses a thought or feeling before passing it on. This encourages openness, interaction, and reflection within the workshop.

Organisation

  • Duration
    Short (up to 30 minutes)
  • Complexity
    Simple
  • Group size
    2 to 20 persons

This activity is not suitable online.

Description Long

The method is designed to encourage reflection on personal impressions, feelings, and insights from the opening phase in an open, playful atmosphere. Participants stand in a circle, close their eyes, and are guided by the facilitator through the impressions gathered during the opening phase. They then open their eyes, and a ball is thrown to someone in the group. The person who catches the ball says a word or gives a brief response to the reflection question, and then passes the ball on. To maintain a sense of spontaneity and flow, the ball should not be passed in a fixed direction (e.g. to the left or right).

Preparation

  • The reflection question and facilitation should be clearly defined in advance.
  • A soft ball and sufficient space are required.

Execution

  1. The method can be carried out indoors or outdoors.
  2. Participants stand in a circle.
  3. They close their eyes while the facilitator guides them through the impressions gained during the opening phase.
  4. Afterwards, participants open their eyes and a ball is introduced into the circle. The person who catches it says a word, then passes the ball on (not in a fixed direction such as left or right).
  5. Possible guiding questions include: “How are participants feeling?” or “What impressions have been gathered so far?”
