Play Logo Salad Bowl:
- Have everyone stand in a circle. Have a bag or hat with logos printed on paper. Then, ask one volunteer to be in the middle of the circle.
- Explain the rules: The person in the middle takes a piece of paper from the hat or bag. The volunteer describes the logo listed on the paper as quickly and thoroughly as possible without saying the name, while rest of the people attempt to guess what is listed on the paper. The volunteer cannot use letters, "sounds like", or hand gestures in the game and must be polite.
- Once someone correctly guesses the logo listed, then the person in the middle of the circle draws another piece of paper and the process continues. The person in the middle has 45 seconds to collect as many pieces of paper as possible.
- When time runs out, the person sitting to the right of the volunteer will be the next person to be in the middle of the circle. The person that collects the most pieces of paper wins the game.
Welcome!
Briefly review the course, what we will focus on and the tools we will use. Briefly introduce myself. |
