What is Show and Tell games

Show and Tell aims to boost team spirit and empathy by letting team members share personal aspects, fostering a more connected and understanding work atmosphere.

Show and Tell Rules

  1. Each person picks something personal to share with the group beforehand.
  2. Presenters then take turns sharing their item or story, with about 5 minutes each to explain why it's important.
  3. After each presentation, the team can ask questions or give comments to connect with the shared story or item.
  4. If the actual item isn't there, draw a representation on a whiteboard.
  5. Give feedback or show support through chat and emojis.
