Activity: Who’s in the Room
Activity
Who’s in the Room
Who’s in the Room invites participants to learn about each other by asking and answering general getting-to-know-you questions. While this activity can easily be facilitated inside (hence the name), it’s also a great opportunity to invite participants to move outside on a playground or field. It’s an excellent way to kick off a class, meeting, or orientation!
- Invite participants to stand in a circle.
- Next, ask the group a question.
- Whomever it applies to steps inside the circle.
- After the question has been answered, participants move back into the circle.
- Ask a series of questions (eventually prompting participants to ask a few of their own) so everyone gets to know each other.
- Debrief the activity by asking participants what they learned about each other that was interesting.
Sample Questions
- Who went to the beach this summer?
- Who likes to eat pizza?
- Who is excited about today’s activity? (This can provide excellent feedback for the facilitator, but be ready to respond accordingly!)
