Overview of Activity
Played in a group environment, Pass the Toilet Paper is a fun icebreaker. A toilet paper roll is circulated around a circle of participants and each of them picks squares of the toilet paper. Participants take turns sharing interesting or unique facts about themselves for each square they took. This game encourages interaction, sparks conversations, and helps participants learn more about each other in a fun and light-hearted way.
Description of Activity
1. The facilitator gathers the participants in a circle, ensuring that everyone has a clear view of each other.
2. The facilitator starts with a roll of toilet paper and explains the rules, (see notes) to the participants.
3. Each participant is allowed to take up to 10-sheets of toilet paper as they want from the roll.
4. The significance or purpose behind the number of sheets taken by each participant is kept undisclosed, and participants should refrain from revealing the reasoning behind their choices.
5. Once everyone has taken their sheets, the facilitator explains that each sheet represents a piece of information or something about themselves that they will share with the group.
6. Around the circle, each participant takes a turn sharing an interesting or unique fact about themselves for each sheet of toilet paper they have just taken. For instance, if a participant took five sheets, they would share five distinct fun facts about themselves.
7. The facilitator can encourage participants to be creative and share things that others may not know about them. This can include hobbies, talents, favourite books or movies, travel experiences, or any other intriguing aspect of their lives.
