Interview and Introduce

Pairs interview each other and then introduce their partner to the group.

Shifts focus outward — students practice genuine curiosity about another person.

Instructions

In pairs. 3 minutes to interview your partner using 3 questions of your choice. Then each person introduces their partner to the group in 30 seconds — not themselves, their partner. The group can ask one follow-up question.
