Goal

Help participants to find commonalities among themselves

Instructions

Ask participants to form a circle with one person in the middle.
The person in the middle asks the other participants to cross through the circle if they can answer positively that they have, have done, or can do something in particular. For example, the participant in the middle might say, “Cross through the circle if you carpool to work.” “Cross through the circle if you have worked here more than 5 years.” “Cross through the circle if you can play an instrument.”
If the other participants can answer the question positively they must cross the circle and find an open spot on the other side left by someone else who also answered the question positively.
The participant in the middle also finds a spot left open by some one who answered the question positively.
A new person is left in the middle. This person gets to pick a new topic.
The game continues as time allows.

Improving Performance Playfully

We do training, and we do it differently. We design, develop, and deliver training faster with uncompromised service and quality. We are cheaper, without cutting corners. And we do it with better results, yield, ROI, relevance, and impact. For the past 35 years, we have been conducting projects that produce measurable business and professional results by improving human performance. Training is one of the different interventions that we design, develop, and deliver. Even though we do not limit ourselves to training projects, we are mostly recognized for activities in this field.
