Games to Introduce Members to Each Other

You can choose one of these or use another one that you know of.

1 This game was suggested by Tiia Kask, the study circle coordinator in Estonia. Give a large piece of paper and pen to each person. They should use the paper long side to the top. Ask them to write their name clearly on the top and draw lines horizontally and vertically, dividing the rest of the space into four equal boxes. In the top left hand space they should write one word describing themselves. In the top right hand space ask them to draw their dream. In the bottom left hand space they should draw their hobby. In the bottom right hand space, ask them to draw answer in one word the question I am proud of....? The pictures should then all be put up on the wall for everyone to see. People should also be provided with the opportunity to ask questions. It gives everyone a good chance to know each other and recognise what they have in common.

Ask the group to form pairs from people sitting next to each other. Preferably they should pair with someone they do not already know well. Inside the pairs, they take turns to tell each other about themselves. One tells the other whatever s/he wishes to say about him- or herself and the other listens carefully. Then they reverse. Take about 5 minutes each way. Reform the whole group. Each person takes it in turn to introduce their partner to the rest of the group, recalling what the other person said about themselves
