Facilitation Supercards are the brainchild of Lisette Sutherland who curates the extremely useful collaborationsuperpowers.com site. They are easy to use flashcards to convey simple messages in a meeting. This includes many of the messages that are endemic in virtual meetings.
Such cards make it easy for facilitators to: 1. Sense the mood of the meeting; 2. Moderate simple exercises; and 3. Subtly influence and control the overall process.
Lisette has made them available as card decks (which is a great way of introducing them). And as free resources you can download and adapt to your own use.
For example, I have a set installed as a picture gallery on my phone. This enables me to quickly see which one I want (gallery view) and then tap it to display.

However, a new opportunity has been presented by our work on virtual flipcharts. The open-source software we use to support these (OBS) makes flashcards really easy. As a result, we now provide them (with Lisette’s kind permission) as a Virtual Flipchart deck.
