But not wanting to assume everyone had a keychain, I suggested if not, use a piece of jewelry, something in their wallet.<\/p>\n<p>I have them first form pairs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(One minute) Think about which item on keychain you will use.<\/li>\n<li>(Two minutes) One person starts talking about one item on their keychain, not describing it, but what it means, represents.<\/li>\n<li>(Two minutes) Switch and the other person shares their store.<\/li>\n<li>(Two minutes) Combine groups to be four.  One person volunteers to share a story (here is the hook), but not their own, they have to re-tell the story they heard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This gets at the issues of communication often as telling someone else&#8217;s story, that it changes when it&#8217;s told by someone else, how it feels to hear someone else tell a story, the importance of listening.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 650px\"
