Count off 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 and form into groups (3 or 4 people)
Introduce yourself to your group, learn each other’s names
Take two minutes to find an interest you all have in common (hobby, sport, favorite holiday etc - GWC doesn’t count ; )

Have one person introduce the members of your group and what you have in common
