===Objectives===
Diversity awareness and appreciation. Appreciation of those who came before us. Get to know each other.
===Group Size===
===Set Up===
Sit in a circle.
Ask everyone to think about their matrilineal family - the names of their mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother . . .Give them a few minutes to recall names.
===Directions===
In turn, each person introduces herself, e.g., "I am Randee, daughter of Ruth, who was daughter of Helen, who was daughter of Priti, who was daughter of others . . "
Go as far back as you can, and then say "of others."
===Debrief===
Does this arouse curiosity about yourself? Give interesting information about each other? How can you use insights from this activity in your regular team projects?
===Alternatives===
Name the patrilineal (father's line) family; or each person can choose.
Or give your lineage by major life influencers/inpsirers: "I am Ted who was inspired by Maria Montessori who was inspired by children . . . "
