Who is who
Energise the start of your meeting by offering your participants the opportunity to discover themselves in an original way by finding the statements that correspond to each candidate.
Pre-requisites
Prepare a board activity. Have a category for each participant with their first names. Place your column at the top of the chart.
Prepare your own card to start the activity by giving a concrete example. In your column, post two original anecdotes that your participants do not know.

Process
Presentation
As the meeting organiser, briefly explain the "Who's Who" activity by illustrating the concept with your column.
Collection
Allow 5 minutes for your participants to add one or two statements about themselves in the "no category" space such as: "I have met the president", "I am passionate about knitting", "I have played sports at an Olympic level", etc.
Discussion
Ask your participants to take it in turns to choose a statement and announce who they think it might be.
The person chosen answers whether the statement is true or false. If the statement is true, move it to their column. If the statement is false, leave it in the "no category" space.
Continue the activity until participants have managed to assign all the ideas.
Tips: only you as the facilitator can move the ideas of other participants. Allow 10-20 minutes for discussion, depending on the size of the group.
Summary
Participants know each other better and will be able to share more easily in the next activities of your session.
Finish the activity so that it appears in the minutes of the meeting.
Suggestions and variations
You can vary this activity by asking participants to come up with statements on specific topics: your favourite film, the sport you play, your passion, your department of birth, etc.
