Description

Implementation:

Step 1: Divide the group into 2 smaller equal groups. The 2 groups will form 2 concentric circles (one inside each other). Each person should have another person as their couple.

Step 2: When everyone has found their couple, the outside circle participants have a minute to get to know their couple (say their name, what they like, their motto, a flower, food, etc.) Each couple has 2 minutes for their first acquaintance.

Step 3: After 2 minutes, the trainer will signal the change and people from the outside circle will move to the right. They will repeat the same process until they get to know all the participants.

Variations

If there are a lot of participants, you can split the group into small groups of 3 or more people instead of couples and change each other to get to know each other.
