Commonality is the perfect starter game to bring guests together to discover the things they have in common.
Resources: Pen & Paper for each team
How to play:
The Host divides guests into pairs or small groups and explains that they have to discover 3 things that they have in common, the more unlikely or funny the better. Each team must then draw their 3 commonalities (without using text) on a piece of paper for the other teams to guess.
NB: The “Commanility” have to be intangible items such as “we have both driven a truck” not “we are both wearing earrings”.
Variations:
Rather than splitting into groups have everybody talk to everybody and the ‘winner’ is simply the first person to find something in common with ALL the other guests!
