    These reflection questions are great- thank you and well done!

      So glad they are useful for you Dan. We try not to be too prescriptive about these questions, but when in the hands of a great facilitator (like yourself) I think they are super useful.

    simple labelling game. good for communication game but not teambuilding, I can see.

      Excellent piece of advice Paul, thanks for noting this potential hazard.

    We used this activity with teachers to talk about the labels we sometimes put on students. It was related then to empathy and how we treat each student. Excellent activity!
