The magazines-and-glue-sticks version ends with everyone carrying home a poster they stop noticing by March. This one ends with every board playing on the television — and still playing next December.
Everyone brings a phone. Each person describes their year in a sentence, and their board is built while the room talks about it. Pair the television once, then take turns putting each board up on the big screen — full size, moving, with music behind it.
That is the part a stack of poster board cannot do, and it is the part people remember.
Not a poster that ends up behind a door. A board that lives on their own screens — phone, laptop, television — and that they can change in March when the goal changes.
It is the difference between a craft night and something still working in November.
Late December and early January is when these happen, and National Vision Board Day falls on the second Saturday of January.
If you are hosting, send the link a week ahead so people arrive with an account already made. You want the evening spent on the boards, not on sign-up forms.
Everyone builds their own on their own free account, so there is no guest limit. If you would rather the room built one board together, plans with more than one user let you add editors and viewers in Settings → Team.
Minutes. Describe it in a sentence, review what comes back, approve it — short enough to do one per person in an evening without the night stalling.
A television with the Vida Visions app from Google Play or the Amazon Appstore, a TV browser open at vidavisions.com/tv, or a stick or player from us — and a phone each. Nothing to print, cut out or glue down.
Yes. Each person builds their own board and sends its share link. Anyone who opens it watches the board play full screen, no account needed.
