Description Long

For the ABC-Method you need to divide the participants into groups. The participants gather in their start positions, for example around tables with writing material on them. On different tables they can find cards with each letter of the alphabet on them. The cards should have the letters facing down. The challenge is for a participant to run to the table with the alphabet and bring one card back to the group. In a next step the group has to find a term or idea matching this letter, as fast as possible. If the group found a term, it is the next participants turn to run to the table and get a new card. The game is over when the first group has written down a term or idea to each letter. This way ideas to a topic can be gathered in a playful manner.
