Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Download a set of ‘Are You More Like…’ questions (see Resources tab.)
2. Organise the cards so that you have one set of paired statements (a match) for every two
people.
3. Randomly distribute one card to each person.
4. When ready, instruct each person to mingle with others until they find the person holding a card
with their match, eg UP is matched with DOWN.
5. Once matched, invite partners to share their response to the question posed by the conjunction
 of their two cards, eg Are You More Like… a CAT or a DOG?
6. Encourage people to share as much as they feel comfortable.
7. When ready, randomly re-distribute the cards, and start again.
8. Continue this matching, sharing and re-distributing process for 10 to 15 minutes.

More Questions: There are 981 more question pairs in the Are You More Like…? ebook
written by Chris Cavert, found at the FUNdoing online store.
One or the Other: Form a large circle, facing into the centre. Pose a Are You More Like…
question, and invite those who identify with the first object to take one step into the circle, or if
they identify with the second object, to step out of the circle. Allow ample time between each
question for thinking time, as well as time for people to observe who else made a similar choice.
Mix & Mingle: Create a set of Are You More Like… questions (both parts) onto index cards for
each person in your group. Similar to Ice-Breaker Question Exchange, form into random pairs
and invite each partner to ask the other the question on their card, and vice versa. The key is
that each person may answer the question anyway they choose. At the end of this exchange,
partners swap cards and then seek out a new partner to start over. Continue for 10+ minutes.
Guess Who? Distribute a sheet of paper and pen to each person in your group. Choose and
announce one interesting or intriguing Are You More Like… question, eg OCEAN –
MOUNTAINS. Instruct each person to write the statement or characteristic they like at the top of
their paper, and then write three reasons why they are like this characteristic. Then, halfway
down the paper, each person writes the statement they do not like and writes three reasons
why they are not like this characteristic. Collect all of the papers, and shuffle. One by one, read
the statements on each sheet of paper, and challenge your group to identify who the person is.
If several people are potential candidates, perform a quick vote, before asking the person who
actually wrote the statements to reveal themselves.
