Activity Tuesday: Common Ground Conversations

Conversation Starters That Go Deeper Than Small Talk

Some activities help your group relax.

Some help them think.

This one does both — and lays the groundwork for every learning experience that follows.

It's just three simple questions, but the progression is intentional — designed to spark curiosity, uncover values, and build instant common ground among strangers or teammates.

I use this one when the room is cold, the group is new, or the stakes are high. It's never failed me.
