Faith Curriculum Library: Deeper Joy

One And Only

Part of Deeper Joy

Take aways may include: sharing details about yourself, being witnessed by peers, assumptions we have of others.

Parameters: More then 2 people. If there are more than 10 in your group, form small groups of 5 to 10 people. Can be done in person or virtually.

Materials: Scratch paper and writing utensils

Distribute paper and writing utensils (if in person). Ask each member of the group to write a fact about their life that others in the group may not know. Advise the group not to reveal anything too personal. Make sure no one signs their names. Collect the statements and shuffle them. If doing this virtually people can anonymously contribute to a shared doc. Read aloud the information of one person at a time. After each reading, let the group try to guess whom the fact describes. After the correct guess, the person can share more detail about what they wrote if they wish.

Variation: after shuffling, distribute the information to participants and have each person read aloud the information they are holding.
