Color Coded Cups: A Fun Way to Pick Meeting Topics

Meetings don’t have to be all business all the time. Infusing a bit of fun into the mix can make them more engaging and productive. One creative idea? Use color-coded cups to choose your meeting topics!

Try this fun approach:

Assign Colors to Categories
Start by designating a color for each broad topic you want to discuss. For example:

Red: Challenges or roadblocks

Blue: Big-picture strategy

Yellow: Celebrations and wins

Green: New ideas or innovation

Set Up the Cups
Place colored cups in the center of the table or meeting room. If you’re hosting a virtual meeting, ask participants to write down their color preference or simply grab a cup of the same color if they have one handy.

Vote for the Topic
Have everyone pick a cup based on the category they’d most like to discuss. Once everyone has chosen, tally up the colors. The color with the majority determines the topic to be discussed! This makes the process more interactive and ensures a lively conversation based on what the group feels is most relevant or interesting.

This method not only keeps meetings fresh and interactive, but it also ensures that everyone has a say in the topics that matter most. Try it at your next meeting and let us know what you think! And don’t forget to offer some fun beverages to fill the cups with once your team has made their selections!
