This activity is simply a series of questions which require participants to arrange themselves in space in relation to other people according to various individual and social characteristics. It’s important that as a facilitator you use warmth and friendly encouragement to help to break natural hesitancy, use laughter and join in as a participant. You can adapt this game for any age group.
Getting to Know You
You can use any number of questions up to a maximum of ten dependent on the length of your warm up. First ask the group to find someone who:
- Had the same breakfast as you
- Has the same shoe size
- Has a different religious belief
- You haven’t met yet, but would really like to
- Has the same favourite season
- Has the same favourite sense
To get the group moving even more, ask the group to them to line up in order of:
-
Number of siblings
- Thumb/foot size
- Number of glasses of water (or cups of coffee) you drink per day
- Introversion / extraversion
- How tired / alert you feel
- Number of different countries you’ve visited
