Domino

Description of the tool

There is no big explanation needed. The facilitator invites the participants to share smaller or bigger “secrets” or interesting information about themselves (hobbies, family, etc). The facilitator can start him/herself telling that on his/her left side shall sit/stand a person who likes Jazz music and on the right side shall sit a person who has 1 brother just like the facilitator. Then participants are welcome to sit/stand in the places next to the facilitator if they have such interests or things in common. It might happen that people "fight” for the places, but there is only one participant on either end of the facilitator. The new persons can then mention one charactarastic or secret that links another participant to their free side. if nobody shares this particular characteristic, another characteristic should be chosen untill one of the remaining participants shares this characteristic.
In a small reflection at the end the facilitator can make the point that the whole group made a one circle where everybody has something in common with somebody else form the group.
