How to play

1. Tell the group they're stranded on a desert island for 30 days and each person can bring three items.
2. Give everyone two minutes to write their own list.
3. Split into small groups and have each group negotiate down to one shared list of five items for everyone.
4. Groups present their final list and explain how they decided.

Variations

• For a shorter, individual version of the same idea with no negotiation, see "Desert Island" elsewhere on this site.
