Mingles-Bingo : Abilities

1. As a class, we will brainstorm a list of abilities. (run, jump, skydive, dance bachata, etc.)
2. Choose 10 abilities and write them on a piece of paper. At least five need to be interesting abilities.  
3. Everyone will mingle. Each time you meet another student, ask him or her: "Can you _______?" If the student responds "Yes, I can." Cross off the ability and write the student's name by it. The first to cross off all ten yells "Bingo!"

Would You Do That?

1. Think about the things you would and would not do.
2. In random order, write 5 things you would do and 5 things you wouldn't do. 
3. Partner up and exchange lists. Each partner will try to guess which things the other partner would and wouldn't do.
4. You get 5 guesses to find out what your partner would and wouldn't do. Phrase guesses  like “(I think) You would _________.” Parter responds: "Yes, I would" or "No, I wouldn't"
5. One point for each correct guess. 
6. Change roles.
