Igual que yo…..•  • Una persona empieza

presentándose al grupo• Cuando alguien en la

audiencia escuche que la persona anterior dice algo que tienen en común, debe interrumpir diciendo en voz alta: "es igual que yo"

• La persona que intervino diciendo "es igual que yo” debe empezar presentándose a partir de la conexión con la persona anterior.

• Repetir hasta que todos los miembros de la audiencia se han presentado.
