===Materials===
The organizer collects and brings in a wide variety of small, inexpensive objects. Examples are: a jewelry charm; rock, shell, twig, other item from nature; novelty pen; pin cushion; old photograph; blank postcard; child's drawing; playing card; piece of cloth; ruler; piece of candy . . .
Table or other surface on which to display the items.
===Set Up===
Ask people to look over the items, thinking about how some of them can symbolize for them their goal(s) for the team/ personal goal(s) related to the team's project or some related idea. Give several minutes for this.
===Directions===
Everyone selects one item and places it in front of them. One at a time, they tell the group why they selected that item, how it gives them ideas or stands for something they want for the group . . .
Each person can keep the item as a reminder.
===Debrief===
At the next team meeting, the organizer can ask people to bring their item back and talk about whether/how it was helpful or inspiring, or different items they substituted or thought of that would be more appropriate.
===Alternatives===
Items can be put in a covered basket or bag, so that each person reaches in and picks one at random.
