TASK INSTRUCTIONS

  • Pick someone to facilitate and someone to edit the slide - ideally different people!
  • Do a round of introductions first
  • On the slide you’ll see a goal, and a series of outcomes. Your task as a group is to arrange the outcomes into the most likely order they’d have to happen in to win the goal!
  • There might be more than one right answer, so feel free to gently challenge each other
  • There’s some blank tiles if you want to add outcomes you think we missed
  • If you get time, do a quick tactic brainstorm on things you might do to achieve one of the steps!
