70. EXTRA! EXTRA! TALK ALL ABOUT IT! (Discussion, Collaboration, Writing, Feedback)
Description: This is a fun way to break the ice and get participants to share and know more about each other.
Application: Use at the beginning of a new school year or semester.
Process: Create blank sandwich boards prior to class meeting and hand one to each participant. Provide markers. Give participants 10 minutes to think and write “headlines” to describe themselves. (Ex. Woman Meets Three Presidents in Three Months! “Bono hugs adoring fan at Raymond James Stadium”) Tell participants to write at least five headlines total and they may write on both sides. When time is called, instruct participants to "wear" their sandwich board, mingle, and ask questions to seek clarity about the headlines. Give the whole group up to 10 minutes to walk around the room.
