Peculiarities Activity Sheet for leader; simple prizes such as candy, stickers, or pens

Peculiarities is a quick, light, and easy way for individuals to find out about one another. It may be used at any time during a short or long session, with participants who know one another well or with complete strangers, to introduce the topic of diversity. For long sessions, I recommend using a few examples every hour or so to inject interest and humor.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Ask participants to stand.

2. Explain that the object of the activity is to discover peculiarities in the group.

3. Tell participants that you will read items from a list, one at a time. Ask them to come forward to receive a prize if they respond affirmatively to the category.

VARIATION

Pass out the list to participants and ask them to fill it out individually, then find others in the room who have marked the same categories. Include some categories that you know apply to more than one person.

TIPS

1. Keep this quick, light, and fun.

2. Add peculiarities to the list relating to organizational quirks or norms, or add specific peculiarities that you know about people in the group.
