Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Divide into pairs or small teams.
- Set a target such as five things everyone has in common.
- Give teams three to five minutes to talk.
- Do not count obvious facts such as being in the same room.
- Invite teams to share one surprising connection.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use a silent written version, speed round or new teams each round.
Make it a great round
Avoid requiring disclosure of sensitive personal details.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
