===Group Size===
===Directions===
Each member of the group writes a âget “get to know youâ you” question on an index card and places it folded in a cup. Make sure to encourage participants to ask discussion questions, rather than questions that solicit a yes or no response. The facilitator then selects one card at time and asks the group members (or 1 member of the group) to respond. ===Variation===* Write out a numbered list of questions. Participants choose a number, without seeing the list, and are asked to respond to the corresponding question. * Place all of the questions in the cup (or hat with a large group). Have the participants sit in a circle. Pass the cup around the circle, each participant draws a question from the cup, answers it, and passes the cup on. ===Sample Questions=== #What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?#What would you do if you didn’t have to go to school every day?#What makes a good friend?#What superhero did you want to be when you were a kid?
