SUPPLIES: Box or bag, pens and small note paper.
THE GAME: Have each participant write down one question he or she would like to ask anyone in the group (and that would be willingly answered). Questions should be G-rated and can cover a variety of appropriate topics, such as “What do you do for fun?” “What do you like or dislike about school?” or “If you could change one thing about your community, what would it be and why?” Encourage creativity and thoughtfulness. Put all questions in the box. Have players take turns drawing a question and answering it. Once a player answers a question, allow other players time to ask follow-up questions.
GOING DEEPER:

• How does it feel to be “in the spotlight”?
• What did you learn from this game about taking time to listen to others?
