This activity is done in much the same way as the M&M Game (but is less expensive). The student tears off a portion of toilet paper (he/she chooses the amount, without knowing the task), and must tell a quality about him/herself for each square of paper.
Personality Cards
These cards are similar to the posters, but the student can fill out his/her own answers. The areas of discussion are typed on a half-sheet of paper and the student draws something that is symbolic of him/herself on the opposite side of the paper. The student then pairs with another student to discuss the card and introduces his/her partner, with the partner showing and explaining his/her own drawing.
Another option is to use the cards as go-rounds, with students answering one question at a time. After the activity is completed, students can then show and explain their pictures. Questions that can be asked include the following:
* Name two people who have influenced you.
* Name the place where you spent the happiest time of your life.
* Name the place you would choose to go if money were no object.
* "Life is a cafeteria in which you. . ."
* "Two values you hold important are . . ."
