Group Size

Small | Medium | Large

Materials

  • Index Cards
  • Cup (a Box hat or other container may also be used)

Set Up

Directions

Each member of the group writes a “get to know 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.

Variation: 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.
