At our most recent retreat this month, we decided to switch things up a bit with a new (to use) small group writing exercise. Each group had a bag of Scrabble tiles (you could also use Bananagrams or Boggle tiles) they they distributed among the group members. We chose to set a timer for 15 minutes and go around the group until the time ran out. The first person played a word, and just like in Scrabble, each person added to the words in play. At the end of the 15 minute period, we wrote down the words we played and used those words to write with. You can choose a genre here (short story or poem), but we left it open ended. It's always fun to see the different pieces that come out of the same words or prompts when writing in a group!
