Exercises

All players assume a character and then mingle and chat, as though they were at a cocktail party.

Topics

Characters need names. It’s how they identify one another. It’s easier to say, “I spoke with Barry,” than “I spoke with that little, funny guy who was here a little bit ago.”

Exercises

Players mingle as though they were guests at a party. When players encounter each other, they introduce themselves with a fictional first and last name. There is a brief conversation, then players move on to meet someone else. After five minutes of mingling, players see how many character names they can remember.

Exercises

Two speaking players stand on either side of a listening player. The speaking players each tell the listener a different story, one speaking in the right ear, the other to the left ear. After one minute, the listener recalls as much of each story as possible.
