Step 1
Introduce the icebreaker. Tell that today the students will get to know each other in a different way, because do the students actually have things in common or are they unique in some things?
Step 2
Explain the icebreaker in steps: Soon one of you will start with a statement, which you think you are the only one who does or likes. You tell that person to stand up and the statement begins with the sentence: ''I think I am the only one who...''.
Step 3
You then tell the group that they can stand up if they like or do the same.
Step 4
Now the group sees how many people actually do or like something or whether it is indeed a unique concept.
Instead of standing, have students write down 'Like you' on a paper and have them hold it up when they recognise the statement.
Pen and paper to write down 'Like you'.
