Icebreaker!


"I Have Spoken": In a circle, students get the chance to say as much (or as little) as they want about anything in 20 seconds. At the end of their time, they say, "I have spoken," and everyone replies "Ho!" Then the turn passes to the next person in the circle. Play for 5 -7 minutes.

Try to complete the questions in this section to the best of your ability. It will help lay the foundation for a successful business!
