many kindergarten teachers like this game. thanks, Mark.
I learned this activity at a yearbook advisers’ conference and then brought it back to our university. It is great!

Great energizer. And if you let go of the “5 minutes” and add a simple question to each handshake, it can quickly because a great connection exercise.
Absolutely Chad – like most of the experiences shared in playmeo’s database, it’s never about the game. In this case, it becomes the pre-cursor to lots of fantastic sharing. Which leads to connection, which leads to trust. Thanks for sharing.
