A is For Awesome

This activity is number 8 from my book Wizbangers, which I co-wrote with Ken Bellemare. There are over 101 of ideas like this one. Hope you like it and you can find a way to use it in your presentations.

A is for Awesome

reviewing ideas, sharing ideas, creative solutions

Use the alphabet to instill some A, B, C fun.

Give each small group the task of coming up with a word for every letter of the alphabet. Each word must be relevant to the topic of the day.

Example: for a communications skills workshop – A is for awkward, B is for bashful, C is for clarity, and D is for …you get the idea. Other alphabets you could ask your group to create:

People in your network
Personal strengths

Barriers to success Opportunities

A variation: You might find some people prefer working alone and are happier creating their own alphabet.


People in the drama and improvisation world often use this activity to carry on a conversation; each person in turn has to continue the conversation by making a comment with the next letter of the alphabet.
