Personal Preferences Game

The personal preferences game is used as an introductory activity for people to share their preferences. It is another alternative exercise to kick off group meetings.

This introductory activity makes it possible to share and reveal the personal preferences of each member of the group. The game also tests memory, which is great to use at first, as research has found that when memory games are used, the amount of information learned increases.

You should ask the group to sit in a large circle, so that everyone can see each other. Start by asking everyone about something they like to do.

Inform the group that before responding they must make the name known, it is recommended that the person who is facilitating the game initiates the activity. For example: i am John and I like to cook for my family.

The person to your left repeats what you said again and then says something they would rather do. For example: his name is John and he likes to cook for his family and my name is Karen and I like to go running.

The next person in the round repeats what was said before, but only the last person’s data. For example: your name is Karen and she likes to run and, I am Peter and I like to go fishing.

The game continues until each person has introduced himself. This game is great because it is a light introductory activity that reveals the personal preferences of each participant.
