| Title: |
Common ground |
| Summary: |
This also works best for small groups or for each small group sitting together as a team (4-6 participants). The vi facilitator gives the group a specific time (perhaps 5 minutes) to write a list of everything they all have in common. Tell them to avoid the obvious ("we're all taking this course"). When time is up, the vi facilitator asks each group how many items they have listed. For fun, ask them to announce some of the most interesting items.
