ISOLATION   GAME 

FOR  TEN  PEOPLE 

Instructions: Please Print when doing each paper.

For 10 people you need 100 pieces of paper.

Hand out 10 pieces of paper to everyone present in the room. 

On the top – next to name – ask everyone to PRINT CLEARLY their name on all 10 pieces of paper.

Next pass along the papers till each person has 10 pieces of paper with 10 different names  on top - including their own.

Then on each piece of paper there are 10 categories.

Task:  Looking at the name on the top of a page, describe that person by just one word for each category.

For example: John Doe - Car  - Mercedes.

Here are the 10 categories:

Tree    ___________

Dog     ___________

Drink   ___________

Color   ___________

Virtue  ___________

Gift     ___________

Season  __________

Meal   ___________

Musical Instrument  ________

Chess piece _______________

Closing instructions:  No talking during the filling out part of the game. Take bathroom breaks. Nothing negative. You can pass – on any category for any reason – for any person. After everyone has done everyone, including themselves, each person should end up in hand with ten pieces of paper with their name on top - with a one word for each category.  Then start talking – but no dominating the conversation. Looking at your paper, spot surprises. You can tell why you gave a particular description, but you don’t have to. Trust one another. Love one another. Listen to one another. Build one another up.
