Freebie! Crazy Eight's templates

I use two templates for Crazy Eights exercises during design sprints or workshops, that just make my life a little easier, especially when there are lots of people involved.

The first template is just a simple template with 8 boxes on, as well as some blank space at the top that people can use however they wish. Sometimes its useful to have people label their Crazy 8’s with their name or the theme their sketches are covering. People sketch out a different idea in each of the 8 boxes within 8 minutes.

The second template is for the second round of Crazy 8’s. Once people have sketched out their initial 8 ideas and people have voted on their collective favourites, a second round of sketching can be used to allow people to flesh out some of these chosen ideas more. The template is to be used for one chosen idea at a time. The three boxes allow people to storyboard the idea out and give it some more detail. You should end up with a storyboard for each of your chosen ideas, that depicts the idea at three different points. There is also space underneath each box in the storyboard for people to label what it is portraying.
