Description

Ice breaker activity where Scouts need to find some common ground


Resources

None

Instructions

Divide everyone up into groups of three or four. Tell everyone that each group has to find their common ground; something they’ve all done before. The catch is it has to be something they’ve all done, but none of the other groups has done, so they might need to come up with a few options!

Group sits in a circle of chairs with one person standing in the middle (no empty chairs). The person in the middle says “I seek common ground with... people who were born east of the Paris!” Anyone who was, including the person asking the question, must get up and run across the circle to find a new seat. You can’t take the seat of the person next to you! There will be one person left in the middle who must ask the next question. Possibilities include: people who... wear glasses! Like vanilla ice cream better than chocolate!

You can also guide the questions a little deeper... “I seek common ground with people who have... worked with the homeless.” The facilitator may choose to ask the first few questions to get the game going and set the tone.
