This is a mellow but deep, yet fun and nonthreatening project to do with good friends who you may not usually share what they think about each other.
Give each person the appropriate amount of slips of paper, representing 3 slips each for every other friend besides themselves (for example, if there are 5 friends total, each person gets 12 slips of paper (4 friends x 3 slips).
Everyone then writes the name of each friend on 3 slips of paper (one name gets written on three slips each). On the other side of the slip, write just one adjective that you think describes that person. Remember, you have 3 opportunities to think of three different adjectives for each of your friends. Fold each slip up with the name showing.
Collect and mix it all up in a bowl. You can then do one of two things: 1) Each person can collect the slips with their names, and read the adjectives aloud or 2) Each person collects the slips for another friend; then reads them aloud, and the group tries to guess who it represents. The point is, you will discover facets you may have not noticed, or appreciated, in your friends, and in yourself.
