First Lesson with an Adult Group
A Icebreaker
Sit in front of the class and invite students to ask you questions about yourself.
Ask students to stand up, find someone they dont know, sit with them and to interview
each other.
Each student tells the class about the person they interviewed. Meanwhile, you take
notes so you can quiz the class afterwards. e.g. Who plays tennis?

Ask each student to give themselves a score for each aspect and then join the scores to
form a zone of coverage on the radar. The result gives students an idea of their
strengths and where they need to focus their efforts.
