Communicate their thoughts verbally.
Listen respectfully to others.
Build on what others have said.
Ask questions.

","materials","

For the group:

Chairs

For the adult leader:

A printout of the Questions sheet in the resources

Scissors

A bag, hat, or other small container

Questions Sheet

","preparation","

Read through and familiarize yourself with the entire activity.

Print the PDF, and cut it into 12 slips so that 1 question is on each. Fold the slips, and put them in the bag, hat, or other container.

Arrange the chairs in 2 concentric circles, with an even amount of chairs in each. The chairs in the inside circle should face out, and the chairs in the outside circle should face in so the students can look at their partners. Leave enough room between the circles so that students will have room to get up and move to the next chair.

","worksheets","multimedia","steps","

Ask students to sit in a chair in 1 of the circles. Explain that it does not matter where they sit, as they will be moving during the activity.
Tell students that in this activity they will answer many different questions. The questions ask for their opinions, so there are no right or wrong answers. Explain that the container has 12 slips of paper, each with a different question written on it. Tell them that you will pick 1 slip at random every few minutes. When you pick the question, they should discuss the question with the person sitting across from them in the circle. Encourage students to give details and ask their partner questions.
Pick the first slip randomly from the container, and read it to the students. Have students discuss the topic.
Remind students to ask follow-up questions like \"Why?\" and \"What is the best part?\" Circulate to make sure students are asking follow-up questions and listening respectfully.
After a few minutes, call time, and instruct the students in the inside circle to move 1 chair to the left.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the slips have been picked and students have discussed all the questions.
Have the students reconvene as a whole group. To wrap up, ask what they learned from this activity. Ask:
- What are some things you learned about other students in the group? Were you surprised by anything you learned
- What did you find that you have in common with other students?
- What was your favorite topic to talk about? Why?

","examples","versions","variations","

Simpler or more in-depth questions can be substituted depending on the overall age of the group.
