What is the Fortunately, Unfortunately energizer? 😅
This is a great energizer inspired by a classic improv exercise.
For this energizer, you’ll split participant into breakout groups and they’ll have to take turns telling a story, starting each line with either “fortunately” or “unfortunately”.
How it works
Create groups of 3-4. If participants don't know each other, allow time for a short introduction.
In breakouts, the group proceeds to tell a story, with each person saying one sentence at a time.
Here’s the catch: each sentence must start with either “fortunately” or “unfortunately,” always alternating between them.
Once everyone is back in the main room, harvest the most fun or creative stories before moving on.
