here on the stairs and up up they're here on the sides okay if you don't have a partner raise your hand raise your hand if you don't have a partner okay and find another person with their hand raised ready yep okay so in a moment you're going to complete some prompts to get to know one another and [Music] first person is going to go and have just 45 seconds to speak and then you're gonna switch right on your own and then the next person is gonna go and have another 45 seconds okay and at the end you want to say that part sure at the end the end of the 90 seconds Joshua whistle underneath and then you got to stop talking we've got to stay on schedule here so okay the person in your pair with the shortest hair will begin so see who that is okay and the first prompt is what brings me to eath
