Knowing What You Don't Know (Advanced Discussion)

Opening Icebreaker – Sharing what you don’t know.

Directions: Choose a subject that you do not know much about and complete the following two sentences:

1 - “I can’t speak intelligently about…. (Name subject)

2 - “The only thing I know about (Subject) is…”

For example:

1- “I can’t speak intelligently about Quantum Physics.”

2- “The only thing I know about Quantum Physics is that it involves really smart scientists studying small things like electrons.”

Before the next person takes their turn, the counselor should ask the group if anyone knows about the chosen topic (In this example, quantum physics). If someone in the group wants to volunteer to say a few things that they know about the topic, that person may provide some BRIEF facts (one minute or less, keeping it short, a few sentences only, to keep the group flowing) Afterward, continue again with the next person picking a new topic.
