    Great for conversation starters, start of sessions and in-between sessions or down time activities as well.

    Flexible as it can be done individually or as a group as well as part of a puzzle or challenge.

    Thanks Mark for the starter circles and solutions, looking forward to creating some extra ones as well .. could be program/topic specific come to think of it :).

    I used this activity when leading a workshop to encourage informal conversations between delegates during the registration period. It was very well received and encouraged conversations between people as they sat down at a table with other teachers they didn’t know.
