Activities

Two quick activities that work on paper — no phones required.

The Rights Wall

Time
10–15 min
Materials
Sticky notes, pens

Host guidance

Find an open wall and put up a sign that says WHAT RIGHTS SHOULD SHAPE OUR NEXT 250 YEARS? Give everyone three sticky notes and ask them to write down one right or idea per note. Have more sticky notes handy for anyone with extra ideas! Stick them all on the wall and take a look together. What ideas keep coming up? Are there surprising connections? Move similar ideas next to each other and talk about which ones spark the most interest or deserve a deeper conversation.

Rights From the Future

Time
10–15 min

Host guidance

It's the year 2076. A new constitutional right has transformed American life. Guests write a headline announcing that right, along with one sentence explaining how people's lives changed. Invite guests to read their headlines aloud and identify the rights behind them.
