Steps:
• Give everyone a sheet of paper and ask them to write something surprising about themselves, something most people don’t know or wouldn’t guess.
• Collect the papers and read them out loud. The group has to guess who wrote what. You may want to give each person 30 seconds to expound on what they shared. For instance, someone may have written “Went deep sea fishing on my honeymoon” and when it is guessed may say, “It’s something I always wanted to do and it is the reason we went to Key West. I had a huge marlin but he got away.”
