Speed Friending

This program is essentially a spin off of speed dating, but instead, it’s for making friends, especially early on in the semester. The idea is that people will be put into pairs and they will have 5 minutes to get to know the person sat opposite them, and once that 5 minutes is done, they will be moved down to the next table where they will have 5 minutes to get to know the next person. They will also be given prompts in case they are struggling to think of what to ask, and those prompts will be placed at their table to avoid silence at the tables. They will then be asked to review the experience at the end so that they can see for themselves if they’ve grown in confidence by the end of the experience.
