Run the round
- Choose four to six prompts for a light opening; leave time for people to think before inviting volunteers.
- Read and display each prompt. People may speak, type, write, draw, use a communication aid, or pass.
- A word, sketch, or short phrase is enough. Nobody needs to perform, tell a joke, imitate someone, or be funny on demand.
- Keep laughter focused on the imaginary situation. Let each person decide whether to explain their idea.
Scoring: No correct answers and no points. Do not vote for the funniest person or rank anyone's creativity.
