summer”On the next two stickies write “One way you relaxed this

summer”On the next two stickies write “Your favorite TV shoes you

watched or caught up on this summer”When the signal word is given you will stand up, hand up, and

pair upEach partner takes a turn reading the other partners sticky

notesAs one partner reads they take sticky notes that relate to

them somehow. RULE: There must be one sticky note left on the other

persons board at all timesWhen done find a new partner until time is called
