snowballs

Each participant is given a piece of white paper (preferably A4) and asked to write something on in - a name, a hobby, favourite food etc. (depends on the task). After everyone has finished, the facilitator forms his piece of paper into a snowball and starts a snowball fight. After 2-3 minutes the fighting stops and everyone are asked to take one snowball in their hand. They now have a piece of information about another participant and can use it to start a conversation or make an introduction.

This activity can also be used to divide the group into teams.
