Two minutes each to discover your partner's superpower — what they are uniquely good at, and how it shows in the moment — and then, around the circle, introduce your partner as them: their name, their superpower, in their posture, pace and tone. Sweet, hilarious and awkward, the manual says, good for bonding a new group and hard for people who feel teased.
