This is a get to know you activity. As you read each prompt aloud students will stand if they identify with that statement. We will start out with safe questions about interests and family and move into more personal, emotional topics. The goal is to help students see that we are not so different, that we all have struggles and challenges. We are trying to build empathy and understanding.
