Objectives: To show how many things relate us

Length: About 15 minutes.

Materials: A large room.

Process: All participants stand in a group. One of them leaves the group and shares something that they like (It could be movies, books, theatre, some food or deeper things. It also could be certain fears, such as being afraid of spiders). Then everyone, who agrees, comes to that person. Then another person walks a few steps away and makes a statement. Everyone, who agrees, comes to that person. Some people may be left standing until they hear some statement that applies to them. Thus the group keeps walking until each of the participants has made 2-3 statements. The number of statements may change depending on the group size.

Summary

Summary questions:
1. How did you feel with many people standing around you?
2. How did you feel with only a few people standing around you?
3. How did you feel standing alone (if applicable)?
4. Have you found many similarities with others?
Life will be full of people, who are similar to you, sharing the same likes, hobbies, fears or values. People are related and united by many things. Finding the points of connection, i.e. being able to share your likes, thoughts and ideas, is the key. However different the other person may be, you can find at least something in common.
