Speed-dating:
Each person has a card with a number.. 1-2-3 or 4. And the cards have different colours. Music ready. Teacher: Now you have to get to know each other better. When the music plays, you walk around among each other...feel free to walk dancing… and when the music stops you approach the person closest to you, who has the same number on their card. You then ask each other: • Where do you come from? • What are your interests? • What sport do you like? • What is your favourite music? When the music starts again, you continue walking, and this time, when the music stops, you approach someone who has the same colour card as yourself, and ask the same questions. Next round, you approach someone who has an equal number, if you have a 2 or a 4, and if you have 1 or 3, you approach someone who has the same. Next round you approach someone who has a different colour than you have.
Same, different:
Stand together 4 and 4. Find something you all have in common, and something that you are the only one in the group who has. F.ex “we all wear glasses, but I am the only one who likes horse riding”. Sit in groups of 6. Put all the cards you have in a stack, with the number down. 1st person takes two cards. They will show fx 2 and 3. Then the person tells about her life when she was five years old. 2nd person do the same. 2nd round. Each person takes one card, and adds the number to the first one. Fx new card 4, and first card 5, then she tells about her age when she was 9 years old. What month were you born? Does it have an influence in which personality you have?
