Hey Fletch … I’m not the fun guy on staff. Do you have any ideas or resources for doing some fun or creative or helpful activities together that might help us? I’m thinking eating and serving together helps, but again, I’m pretty boring.
Fletch—Here is what I have found works really well.
- Bring together a cross section of staff, perhaps 4-5 people (admins & pastors).
- Let them know they are coming for a brain storming meeting for 45 minutes—all suggestions are fair game.
- Have ascribe at the meeting put all the “fun activity ideas” on 3×4 foot (or so) Post-it notes on the wall. When the ideas are all up, give everyone 3 small round stickers to vote for their top 3 fun activities.
You are letting them drive the bus. You may get some great ideas. You can tell staff that these were generated by their peers.
