Exercise: “The Pitch Challenge”
Objective: To encourage participants to think creatively and develop their pitch skills.
Instructions:
- Divide the participants into small groups of 3-4 people.
- Give each group a random object (it could be anything from a paperclip to a banana)
- Give each group 15 minutes to come up with a creative business idea that incorporates the object they were given.
- Once the time is up, each group will have 3 minutes to pitch their business idea to the rest of the participants.
- The other groups will then vote for the best pitch.
- The winning group will receive a prize.
Variation:
- You can also use this exercise as an individual challenge, and each participant will have to come up with their own creative business idea using the random object.
Tips:
- Encourage participants to think outside the box and come up with unique and creative ideas.
- Remind participants to focus on the key elements of a pitch: problem, solution, and market.
- Encourage participants to be concise and to the point in their pitches.
- Provide feedback to the participants on their pitches.
This exercise is a fun and engaging way to encourage participants to think creatively and develop their pitch skills. It can help them to understand the importance of coming up with unique and creative ideas and the value of being able to effectively communicate those ideas to others. The exercise also helps to develop the skill of problem solving, creativity, and the ability to think on their feet.
