Intro
Let’s get to know each other a whole lot better! This easy-going activity invites people to answer some questions about themselves on paper. The paper then gets folded up and mixed together, and people have to guess who wrote what. It’s a great way to get the conversation flowing!
This activity is ideal for people in the early-planned stage of their journey.
What you need
- A question sheet for each. An A4 piece of card or paper, with 4 questions written on. Such as:
- What’s your favourite holiday destination?
- Name one thing you really don’t like
- Name one thing you love
- What’s your favourite toy as a child?
2. A box
The Activity
- Give each person a copy of the question sheet
- Ask everyone to spend a few moments writing down the answers to the questions
- Tell people to keep their answers to themselves, for now
- Once they’ve finished, fold up the sheets, put them in the box and mix them up
- Invite the first person to pull a folded piece of paper from the box
- Encourage them to read out the questions and answers
- Now the group has to guess who they think wrote these answers (it doesn’t matter if people get it wrong)
- Once you know who wrote the answers, encourage them to talk a little and reminisce about their answers – then ask the group to join in the discussion
- Move onto the next piece of paper, figure out who wrote the answers and talk about their life
- Keep doing this until all the pieces of paper have gone
