This is a great activity for getting your students talking to each other. It would work particularly well as an ice-breaker for a new class.
Explain to your class that we can all find something in common with those around us. The object of this game is to discover as many things as you can, that you have in common with fellow students. You can limit this to 5 things in common.
Brainstorm examples with the whole class, noting suggestions, e.g.
oWe both have long hair oWe both have a Nokia mobile phone oWe all like Harry Potter oWe both have a younger sister called Ni Jing oOur favourite colour is green oOur families go to the same supermarket oWe both believe in ghosts.
Give students a time limit to mingle and find out as many things as they can, they have in common. The one who finds the most is the winner.
Alternatively ask them to find five things and the first person to shout 'five' is the winner.
