Here’s what we’d do
Write a few gentle prompts such as invent a shop sign or draw an unusual chair. Let participants choose or replace prompts rather than accepting a difficult random assignment. A shared time window gives different activities a natural point to pause together.
How to make it happen
Go at your own pace.
- Before inviting
Choose the practical details
Prepare varied prompts that can be answered with simple materials.
- The shared part
Give the activity room
Choose a prompt and work independently, with changing direction explicitly allowed.
- A good ending
Finish at the agreed pace
Show work only by choice and save unused prompts for another gathering.
Choose your version
A few things to know

- Avoid prompts that require personal disclosure or expensive specialist supplies.
- Confirm the date, meeting point or call link, and spending with everyone before committing.
