Body Part Debrief Thumball

The Body Part Debrief Thumball™ was designed to help facilitators, trainers and teachers ask participants thoughtful questions about their experiences.  The body-focused metaphors are easy for participants to relate to.  This process can help shift some of the responsibility for successful processing from the facilitator to the participants. The questions can be answered in a group setting or used with individuals. Feel free at any time to reword or alter the question provided.  Each question is simply a starting point; take it in any direction you desire. Be creative and avoid one-word answers.  Expand on your answer as often as you can.  Allow one question to lead into full conversations.  Mid-morning Review:  Invite each participant to find a partner.  Toss the ball to one participant and ask them to announce the question under their thumb.  Have each pair share their response to the question announced.  After a few minutes of discussion time, toss the ball to a new participant and
