Participants at a workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal, in August 2000 undertook to share a variety of exercises that helped illustrate elements of the Appreciative Inquiry Approach.  These were to be participatory activities that directly engaged participants and could be done in 10-20 minutes, either as ‘ice-breakers’ or in relation to specific workshop topics.  In preparing for this workshop I put an inquiry out on the AI listserve, and to colleagues in Habitat for Humanity and the local Nepal AI/APA network, asking for suggestions for similar short exercises that others have found useful in AI workshops.  From these I have compiled the following collection of activities, which I hope others will find useful as they plan their own programs.
