A Jumble of Words
A fun and creative workshop for your team
What happens when a group of coworkers is given free rein with words?
Hilarious stories, surprising poems, and insights that no one could have anticipated may emerge. At the very least, there will be laughter, joy, and shared memories!
"A Jumble of Words " is a two-hour, lighthearted writing workshop where you can let your imagination run wild and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday work for a moment.
This workshop is perfect for pre-Christmas parties, team-building days, wellness days, and other group events for the workplace.
Have fun with words!
What kind of story emerges when its elements are chosen by rolling dice? And what happens when you have to fit random words drawn from a bag into the same text?
The "Word Mix" workshop features a variety of fun and accessible writing exercises. Tools used include story templates, picture cards, and word bags.
Sometimes we write on our own, and sometimes we come up with ideas together. During the workshop, we might even create a collaborative poem unique to our group!
The most important thing isn't the kind of text you produce, but that writing is fun.
But I don't know how to write!
I'm sure you know it well enough!
This workshop doesn't require any writing experience, special creativity, or even an interest in literature and writing. All you need to do is show up and let your imagination surprise you.
The exercises are designed so that everyone can easily participate. There are no right or wrong answers, and no one's writing will be graded.
And don't worry: you don't have to read your own work aloud if you don't want to.
The workshop is also suitable for those who aren't interested in traditional group games, competitions, or performing. Everyone can participate in their own way, and no one has to be the center of attention.
