 Introduce Your Fellow Delegate
 Level: Beginner
 Resources: None
 Time: 30 Minutes
 Goal: Getting over the fear of the unknown people in the room
 Get the student to know each other and listen to others. MUN is not all
about the rules and knowing the countries a big part of it is working
together. At the end of the day, each student has its own Agenda and
we need to all work together and make friends (this is the best way to
get good at MUN) not only the academics but also improving your
people skills.

This is played the same way as ‘Introduce Your Fellow Delegate’ with one key difference;

Before starting, have each participant put one of their shoes in the middle of the circle. Once everyone is missing a
shoe redistribute the shoes so each participant is holding a shoe that is not theirs.

Alternative: Give the participants 30 seconds to quickly grab a shoe that is not theirs.

Once everyone has a shoe they need to find the owner of that shoe and pair up. After this continue with ‘Introduce
Your Fellow Delegate’ as written above.
