3 things in common

1. Start in a circle and then have everyone begin walking around the room. 

2. Instruct participants to "find someone that they don't know very well" for this activity and stand next to them.

Suggest some prompts - shared experiences, 
ie. first job
(don't suggest likes/dislikes)

3. Each pair now has 3 minutes to find the most unusual 3 things that they have in common. Encourage them to really explore to find the most unusual things. They will likely start with things like pets and places they've lived, but then will dig deeper to find shared hobbies, fears, travels, desires, experiences, etc. 

4. After 3 minutes instruct each pair to take 1 minute to choose one thing to share with the group.

5. Reform group circle. Go around the circle and each pair shares their shared unusual thing.
