Show and Tell

Remember back in your/our childhood days the occasional activity of bringing something from home for show and tell? I do. Well, we're never too old to play at this. What we have to show and tell has certainly changed, but it could be an entertaining and fun way to get better acquainted with your colleagues. 

This is easy-peasy. Pick a day. Ask for volunteers - maybe start with yourself. Then find something that is particularly meaningful to you and that you would feel comfortable sharing with others. Take 5 minutes or 10 to show and tell, answer questions (if any), share reminiscences (I had a banky, too), and then move on. In my case, it might be my violin, bowling pin hat, wedding suit, or something else completely. If you want to add an element of gamespersonship, ask before you present if anyone can surmise the significance of what you are showing; or not.

Have a nice labo(u)r day!
