Have everyone in the group go to the website Googlism and search for his/her first name. This will generate a list of statements about that name pulled from Google search results e.g. for the name Francois:

  • Francois is the best
  • Francois is required to live in East Palo Alto or Eastern Menlo Park if he is to run for a seat on the Ravenswood Board
  • Francois is right
  • Francois is a first class hotel
  • Francois is 9 years old and lives in Senegal
  • Francois lives with his mother and baby brother in Thies
  • Francois is an actor who plays his roles convincingly
  • Francois is still desperately in love with his ex
  • Francois is an inexhaustible improvisor who enthralls his listeners with his intense and original playing
  • Francois is not alone in this belief that dance is also a therapeutic tool and a valuable investment for physical health and psychological balance

Go through the list and find as many that apply to you as possible and share with the rest of the group.
