Meeting Someone New

Worksheet Description
The “Meeting Someone New” worksheet is a simple yet effective tool for teaching students the art of conversation when they encounter a new person. It provides a blank template where students are instructed to write down six questions that they could ask when meeting someone for the first time. This activity is designed to make students think about how to initiate a dialogue in a friendly and respectful manner, encouraging them to be curious about the person they are meeting while being considerate of boundaries.
The worksheet teaches students to develop social skills, particularly the ability to engage in small talk with new acquaintances. It emphasizes the importance of asking open and friendly questions that can lead to a meaningful exchange between people who are just getting to know each other. The task of writing down questions also helps students to prepare for real-life social interactions, reducing the anxiety that can come with meeting new people. By practicing this exercise, students learn to communicate more effectively and build connections in a thoughtful way.
