Body Part Debrief Thumball
The Body Part Debrief Thumball™ is designed for facilitators, trainers, and teachers to spark thoughtful conversations about participants’ experiences. Each panel features a body-focused metaphor, making questions relatable and easy to understand. This tool encourages participants to take an active role in group processing, shifting some responsibility from the facilitator to the group itself1.
Participants can answer questions in group settings or individually. Each prompt serves as a starting point—feel free to reword or expand on the questions to deepen the discussion. The Thumball is perfect for creative reviews, partner activities, or journaling, and is especially effective for groups of 10–12 participants.
Instructions:
Gather in small groups. Toss the Thumball, catch it, and answer the question under your thumb. Repeat as desired to encourage rich conversation and reflection.
