===Variations===
You can also use this activity to address issues of stereotypes by using an intentionally diverse group of name tags. For this variant the facilitator goes around to the group and sticks the name tags to the participants foreheads. When each participant has received their label ask the participants to introduce themselves and to shake hands with others. Participants try to guess what their label is by the way they are treated by others. Possible labels might be:
* Cheerleader * Football Player
* Person in a wheelchair * Trash Collector
* Catholic priest * Mechanic
* Single teenage mother * Lifeguard
* Homeless person * Walmart Greeter
* Baseball Player * Banker * Hearing impaired person * Race Car Driver
* Pediatrician * Professional Wrestler
* American Idol winner * Movie Star
* What was challenging about this activity?
* What did you notice about the kinds of questions you or others asked?
