MOPS - A Great Get to Know You Mixer

Thursday, May 15, 2014

Here is a fun large group mixer you can use to get to know new people.


We called this our "m&m mixer"
The first MOPS meeting of a new semester can be exciting for returning members and perhaps a little nerve-racking for the new members. Many of these moms do not know their tablemates and may need some help in breaking the ice.  To get conversations going and facilitate introductions we provided this fun "m&m mixer".  It was a great way for the moms to get to know one another without the anxiety that can come in first meetings.

Each mom was provided the above printout and a fun-size bag of m&ms.  They were instructed to share a little bit about themselves based on the color of m&m they pulled out of their bag, using the printout as a reference.  For instance, if I pulled out a yellow m&m I would tell the ladies my favorite things about my daughter, (which is her sense of humor and cuddles)!  We set a 10 minute limit on the mixer, just enough time for everyone to learn fun and interesting tidbits about one another!
