Breaking the ice. Getting to know each other through a set of “innocent” question, out of status (academic degree, job…)

Duration : 30 minutes

In a basket prepare small pieces of paper with different questions. Ask each participant to pick one, and go to find a pair. They will have to ask each other the question they grabbed. When they have finished they should exchange the questions and find a new pair.

Here are some ideas of questions you can use :
- Do you feel more as water, fire or wind?
