Give each participant two slips of paper and a pen. On the first slip of paper they should write a fact about someone else in the group ( These should be positive and should not be statements which might cause any upset to anyone, e.g. Owen is wearing a yellow t-shirt, Leora has 2 brothers). Collect these in.
On the second piece of paper ask the Pioneers to write an opinion about someone else in the group – stress that these should be positive and should not be statements which might cause any upset to anyone e.g. Owen likes yellow, Leora’s brother is very clever. Collect these in an keep in a separate pile.
Read out each of the ‘facts’ in turn and get the group to guess who it refers to. Then read out the ‘opinions’. See if the group can guess who these refer to.
At the end, discuss with the group why it was easier to identify people from the facts which were given about them than from other peoples opinions.
