Million Dollar Phrase – Fun Recap Activity for Any Training Program

Million Dollar Phrase – A Memorable Recap Activity

A simple and engaging way to reinforce key points from your training session by turning them into a fun, post-session guessing game.

Core Activity: Guess the Million Dollar Phrase

Objective

Help participants recall the most important idea from your training by embedding a “mystery phrase” and challenging them to identify it at the end.

Instructions

  1. Before your session: Choose one key phrase to serve as the “Million Dollar Phrase.”
  2. During the session: Repeat the phrase 3–5 times in natural moments—without drawing attention to it.
  3. End of session: Announce the challenge. “Who can guess the Million Dollar Phrase?”
  4. Offer a small prize or recognition to the participant who guesses correctly.
  5. Follow-up by discussing: “Why is this the most important idea from today?”

Trainer Tips

  • Build anticipation by teasing the challenge at the start: “One idea today is worth a million. Will you spot it?”
  • Use tone variation and repetition to plant the phrase naturally.
  • For multi-day sessions, choose a new phrase each day and recap them all on the final day.

Bonus Activity #1: Key Phrase Bingo

Goal: Encourage active listening and recall during longer sessions.

  1. Create Bingo cards with key terms or ideas.
  2. As phrases come up during training, participants mark them off.
  3. First to complete a row/column wins—but must define each phrase to claim the prize.

Bonus Activity #2: Sticky Phrase Relay

Goal: Use peer teaching to reinforce memorable phrases and takeaways.

  1. Participants form pairs and write down a key phrase from the session.
  2. Each pair teaches their phrase to another pair in a “relay” format.
  3. Continue the chain until all have exchanged and taught/learned phrases.
  4. End with group reflection on what phrases stood out and why.
