Meeting New People

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a social activity titled “Meeting New People,” designed to facilitate interaction among students who may not yet be familiar with each other. The top of the sheet provides a space for the student’s name and prompts them to find someone in the classroom they don’t know well, initiate a conversation, and then document what they have in common and how they are different. There are designated areas on the worksheet to write down the other person’s name, list commonalities, and describe differences. An outline of a human figure with a label “Me” is also provided, possibly for students to add personal details or characteristics.

The worksheet aims to teach students the skills of initiating conversations, engaging in social interactions, and finding common ground with others. It helps to develop interpersonal communication skills and encourages students to discover and appreciate both similarities and differences among peers. This activity can foster a sense of community and empathy within the classroom by highlighting shared interests and diverse perspectives. The self-reflective element, represented by the human figure, also prompts students to consider their own characteristics in the context of meeting new people.
