How to facilitate
Introduce the Puppy & Bunny Playtime theme, explain the three columns and the purpose of each.
Kick off with a quick ice‑breaker, such as sharing a favorite animal memory, to get energy flowing.
Ask participants to silently write down items for Start, Stop, and Continue on virtual sticky notes.
Group similar notes together in each column and invite brief discussion to clarify each point.
Use dot voting or emoji reactions to surface the most important items in each column.
Turn the top Stop and Start items into concrete action items with owners and due dates.
Close the retro with a gratitude round where each person shares one thing they appreciate about the team.
Pro Tips
Limit each column to 5‑7 items to keep discussion focused.
Encourage the use of animal‑themed emojis on sticky notes to reinforce the playful atmosphere.

Capture action items in a shared task board immediately after the retro to ensure follow‑through.
