Happy Holidays from WitWorks! Here’s a simple yet fun game you can play this season when gathering with friends and family. Name: Common Word Directions: * Group (3-12) stands in circle. * Two people standing next to each other begin the game by turning to each other, making eye contact, and each saying a single random word at the same time on the count of 3. * The person on left then turns to their immediate left to find their new partner. * This time instead of saying a random word on the count of 3, the pair tries to find the COMMON WORD between the previous two words that were said. * The goal of the game is to have two people say the same word, the common word, at the same time. * Example: Set of random words were “juice” and “champagne". So the next pair count to 3 and say the common word “mimosa" at the same time. Hurray! * The game continues clockwise until a common word is found. Finding the common word can take a few rounds! No conspiring ahead of time! Be patient, keep a steady pace (no long hesitations), and celebrate once it is found. * Tip: Try not to repeat words. When playing the game for the first few times, it's okay to let that slide. But after that, the rule of not repeating words adds a wonderful next level of challenge.

"Treat your audience like poets and geniuses and they'll become." This quote by Del Close encapsulates a key principle for improvisers: trust your audience and respect their ability to follow along. In the world of improv, this means trusting your performance to be clear and engaging without needing to over-explain every detail. In this week's WitWorks vlog, co-founder Katie Drown explores how this improv principle is just as essential in workplace communication. By treating your team, clients, and stakeholders as capable, you create an environment where collaboration and understanding thrive. And if you don't, you risk falling out of your audience's good graces! #workplacecommunication #teamdevelopment #learninganddevelopment #teambuilding
