A quick, low-prep icebreaker where staff mingle and discover one similarity and one difference with each colleague they meet.
By Prophet GaspardUpdated July 15, 2026
A quick, low-prep icebreaker where staff mingle and discover one similarity and one difference with each colleague they meet. It runs all day alongside a PD or works as a standalone opener.
Why try it
This activity keeps conversations going naturally throughout a PD day, without requiring staff to sit in a circle or answer on the spot. Staff move at their own pace, meet people across grade levels and departments, and leave knowing a little more about the people they work with.
