Students sit at cafeteria tables with people they don’t usually sit with. (You can use a technique such as distributing playing cards, or “Life Savers in the Lunchroom” to get students to their tables.) Once students are at their tables, they pair up with a new friend. The new friends introduce themselves to each other, using prompts. Some prompts include: What’s your name? Where are you from? Do you have sisters and brothers? What’s your favorite class or music or computer game? After the new friends have introduced themselves to each other, each person takes a turn introducing his or her new friend to the rest of the group.
