In this activity we will use our interactions to get to know our classmates better.

• WHAT IS SPEED DATING?

Speed dating is a concept that allows you to meet
your classmates in a fun and friendly way.
In a typical speed dating event, participants will
rotate through a series of short conversations
with different potential matches. Each
conversation lasts for a few minutes before the
participants move on to the next person. At the
end of the event, participants can indicate which
individuals they are interested in meeting again.

→ Arrange the chairs in two or more lines so you sit facing one classmate.
→ Choose 10 questions from the list and, using the template given by the teacher,
make your own speed dating questions card.
→ You will have 2 minutes to make a few questions to every one of your classmates.
Take notes and find out as much as you can about them.
→ You must answer each question. If you or your partner do not have enough to say,
try to keep up with the conversation by making new questions (“Why?”, “How is that
possible?”, “Could you give me some more details?”).
→ YES / NO / MAYBE answers are FORBIDDEN so make a red mark next to his/her
name if you get one from your partner, as well as when they do not collaborate.
→ Both people ask and answer, you will shift when the teacher says “SWITCH ROLES!”
→ When the teacher says “CHANGE SEATS!” you will move on space to your left and
will start another conversation with a new partner.
