Simple Statements

1. One of these questions can be used to close any session:
* Who in the group have you discovered is most like you?
* Whom did you learn the most about today?
* Who do you think was the most honest today?
* Which person would you like to be more like?

Group members can also stand sideways in a circle and rub the back of the person in front of them as they answer the question.
2. Other options for simple statement closure are:
* Give a thought.
* Tell a joke.
* Repeat the serenity prayer.
* Stand in circle, hold hands, close eyes, and feel the friendship.
* Single Adjective Stroke

The group sits in a circle and the facilitator explains that members of the group will state a single positive adjective about each individual. One person will receive the praise from all the group members before the group begins with another person. The facilitator will write down the adjectives, then hand the sheet to the person after everyone has commented.
