Values Game

Dear Friends and Family,

As promised, here's the values game. You get a stack of index cards and you write one word on each: (in no particular order) truth, wisdom, quality, nature, well being, freedom, compassion, peace, commitment, change, intimacy, prosperity, power, adventure, order, achievement, success, influence, privacy, beauty, mastery, spirituality, integrity, trust, flexibility, happiness, service, awareness, excellence, creativity, reflection, loyalty, community, play, growth, joy, security, wholeness, leadership, fulfillment, challenge, learning, love, making a difference, balance, excitement, taking care of loved ones. 47 cards total.

Everyone takes a turn doing a card sort. You sort the cards into three piles: very important, somewhat important, and not important. Then, you take the very important pile, and pick your Top Four from those cards. The sorting exercise, in a group setting, should take, each person, 2-3 minutes. Once everyone has written down their top four, you go around in a circle. One person reads one from their list. And, you see if anyone else has it on their list. Then, all the people who have it on their list talk about why it's important to them. Then, the next person reads one from their list. And you continue until you've gone through everyone's top four.

Enjoy!


Cheers!
