Quickies to close the session

 

You are going to run mainly short sessions, meaning there will be almost no time for evaluation and closure. So it needs to be quick. Here are some of my suggestions about what can be done, and maybe something will inspire you to find out your way to close the session. 

 

• One minute speech saying thank you, and inviting participants to further follow your journey on instagram

• Making a circle and asking participants to describe the activity in one word, it can be adapted to how do you feel, what are you taking from the activity etc. also you can specify and ask to describe how was the session for them with a movie title, or with the weather condition 

• Clapping together, first with one finger 1,2,3 short pause 1,2,3, short pause 1,2,3 short pause 1. Then repeat it with 2 fingers, 3, 4, and with 5 fingers when pax do the rhythm they usually start clapping for the end. 

• You can ask pax to stretch a bit, only hands and arms, and put their arm on their own back as streatching, and clapp themselves on the shoulder and say their own name. 

• Quick evaluation putting a chair in the center which represents 100%. And you ask questions and people should position themselves on the scale (closer or further from the chair)

• If you don’t have a problem with accessibility, you can also use an app to get feedback from participants - quick meaning 3 questions in kahoot or menti or similar. 

 

So how would you like to finish your sessions?
