Instructions:
Spread out all the cards on a table or floor with the icons facing up. Invite participants to choose 3-4 icons that represent characteristics about themselves. This can be related to hobbies, values, hopes, etc. Then stack them in totem pole fashion with the top image representing either something the group may not know about them or something they are striving for. Have the group to pair up and share with their partner their totem pole. Or if you have enough time, have the group do a walking tour of everyone’s totem poles and listen to their reasons.
