Energiser, Group Building Activity
Get to know each other a bit better and activate the participants.
* One person stands in the middle and calls out a characteristic (wearing blue socks, having 2 sisters, liking rock music,…) The participants have to change their seat if the characteristic applies to them. The person in the middle – of course- tries to conquer one of the seats. The person left without a seat calls out the next characteristic he wants to know about people.
Pitfalls: Often characteristics stay superficial (e.g. clothes) and are copied from the person that starts. The team members could add some more interesting characteristics about opinions or ways of working with youth.

Comments
To make it more \"fun\" you can add the rule that if a chair on your right hand is empty you move there. Then more people are involved and it is all more \"active\".
