===Materials===


===Set Up===
sit in a circle (or if remote, arrange a conference call).
Ask everyone to think about what they need to do to prepare for the upcoming event, and what they will bring to it - whether material, emotional, task-oriented . . .

===Directions===
The first person says "I am going to [our event] and I am going to bring __ [e.g., enthusiasm."
The next person repeats what the first person says, and adds something, e.g., "I am going to [our event0, and I am going to bring enthusiasm and [my best tie]."
The next person: "I am going to [our event], and I am going to bring enthusiasm, my best tie, and 30 copies of [our annual report]."
Etc. around the circle, once or several times.
If someone forgets to mention an item, others simply remind them.

One person could make a list of everything mentioned, to share later.


===Debrief===
Discuss whether the cumulative list left out anything important.

===Alternatives===
This can be done for  a variety of things, such as "We are getting ready for the next fiscal year and I am going to bring . .. " or "This is Monday, and I am bringing to our team . . . "
