Ice Breaker: “Save Me”
This is a riotous game. The demonstrator asks guests to imagine they are all survivors at a shipwreck, swimming for their lives. There is only one life belt. One survivor can claim it and be saved. Each guest must state their case: Why they think they have the most right to live. The guest with the most convincing or amusing case wins.

Text: Acts 10:9-17, 28, 34, 38
