Team / Classroom

Micro Demo Day

Players teach a tiny skill or shortcut in one minute.

How to play

Simple rules

No setup is needed beyond choosing the first prompt or theme. Explain the goal in one sentence, run a short first round, then let the group settle into the rhythm.

Each player chooses a tiny skill, shortcut, or habit.
Give one minute to explain or demonstrate it.
Listeners ask one follow-up question.
Collect useful ideas in a shared note.

Best use

When this works well

Good fit

Use it when a group needs a practical warmup before a meeting, workshop, or shared task.

Maybe skip it

Skip it if the group is under time pressure or if the prompt could feel too personal for work.

Variation

Change the format

Make it themed around work tools, focus habits, or study tips.

Tips

Make it work better

Name the time limit clearly and keep the first prompt neutral so participation feels easy.
Keep the first round simple and treat it as practice.
Let players pass if they need a moment.
Stop while the activity still has energy instead of stretching it too long.

Helpful supplies
