Birds of Different Feathers

Introduction

Socrates said, “Gnothi seauton”(Γνῶθι σαυτόν), know thyself. Let us do that, as we create some novel situations for ourselves in a Game.

Icebreaker Game!

Look at the slide full of numbers on the screen. I would like you to:

• Silently work through the slide until you have found all the numbers
  
• Raise your hand when you have done so.

A Personality Game

I have divided you up into 4 groups. Each group will be given a specific task. You will need to:

• Discuss how to complete the Task
  
• Complete the Task and document your work
  
• Also document the main aspects of Discussion in your group. Who said/ suggested what; what were the points of agreement; what were the contentious points etc.
  
• Present all of this : 7 + 5 minutes / team
