===Materials===
Nametags, Marker, List of Celebrity Names or demographic characteristics (see variation below)
 
===Set Up===
Writing out the names on the tags ahead of time saves time, and also have brief bios of the people to help  with the debrief.
===Directions===
From the participants perspective, the object of this activity is for each group member to discover the  personality that is written on their own back.  You begin by assigning each group member a “personality” by sticking a nametag with the name of a famous  person or character to his or her back. DO NOT show this nametag to the participant! Participants should be  able to view the personalities of all other group members, just not their own.  You then instruct the group to mingle, and ask questions of the other "guests at the party." Individuals can  ask yes or no questions about their personalities of others in the group, such as “Am I a woman? Am I a  singer? Etc.
