❖ Purpose: To introduce participants to one another by uncovering their individual tastes.
❖ Time Required: 10 to 25 minutes.
❖ Size of Group: Unlimited.
❖ Materials Required: None.
❖ The Exercise in Action: Dave Dahlen, a park ranger with the National Park Service, helps participants get acquainted by asking a series of questions that reveal individual tastes and interests. For example:
“I enjoy…
A. Classical B. Jazz C. Soul D. Rock
…music.”
Once each person has made a choice, participants divide into groups with similar musical taste. After a short get-acquainted period, another question is asked, such as, “I enjoy (A) Italian, (B) Chinese, (C) American, or (D) French cooking.” The groups then change, based on those answers, and another short discussion period takes place.
