"This activity works best for small groups or with a large group divided into smaller groups of 4-6 participants. Everyone in the group gets 10 pennies/toothpicks/scrap of papers, etc. 

The first person states something he/she has done (e.g. water skiing).  Everyone else who has done the same thing admits it and puts one object he received before in the middle of the table. 

Then the second person states something (e.g. I have eaten frogs' legs).  Everyone who has done it puts another penny in the center. Continue until someone has run out of pennies.

The group will become more united.

Pennies or toothpicks or scaps of paper to devide between participants equally.
