I always used in a previous job either rock and roll or doughnuts and
biscuits (or another food) - doughnuts are always popular especially
with a spot heading towards a break

I like this idea. NHS staff seem to be very attentive whenever food is
mentioned.
Also, it can be expanded to show that pizza AND ham will include all
pizzas with ham on them, and so is quite broad as it'll include ham and
tomato pizza, ham and cheese pizza, ham, cheese and tomato pizza etc. If
what people want is just ham pizza, they might put it in inverted
commas, or use parentheses (ham AND pizza) NOT (cheese OR tomato).
Also, some of my staff quote the catchphrase "OR is more" to try to
remember whether to use OR or AND.
If you have a predominantly female audience, you might like to change
the food to chocolate (AND hazelnuts AND raisins AND caramel, etc)

Whether this qualifies as 'exciting' or not is probably a moot point,
but anyway... I use pizzas. ("Pizzas and Parentheses", to be exact...;-)
I have to add that I use them virtually rather than actually, but knock
yourself out...
Gives you all sorts of options to play with - from simple pizza AND ham
[doesn't give you every kinda pizza, doesn't give you everything made of
ham, gives you a ham pizza...] versus pizza OR ham, through to a spot of
nested searching and discussion of default operator order - e.g. pizza
AND (pepperoni OR chicken) versus pizza AND pepperoni OR chicken.
It might be stretching a point a bit and isn't particularly purist in
concept if you look too closely, but it might be a bit different.
Tom.

Can anyone share with me their exciting exercises or games to get this
concept over. I am having a bad spell of not getting the concept over in
group sessions. Something quick and fun to do with a group would be very
useful.
I will share ideas if any arrive with permission to share
