Uncommon Commonalities

-
- Break students into groups of 3-4 students.
- Say: Today we are going to play a game called “Uncommon Commonalities”. During this game, your goal is to figure out how many things everyone in their group has in common in just 3 minutes. These should not be visible commonalities, such as your hair color or shoes, but something you cannot see about one another.
