The Game
Snap! is a game that focuses on word association, and aims to be a useful tool for brainstorming.
The premise is simple. Everybody participates on his or her computer. The leader enters a word, and everyone else enters topics related to that word. Whenever you get the same word as somebody else, you get a point.
Snap! is a quick game with three aims:
- Energize participants and activate people's brainpower
- Create a sense of shared identity among participants of the same sector
- Learn from participants about what concepts they associate with the topic
For the rules of Snap! on paper, please see the lecture notes introducing the game.
