This excersize has them finding out about each other and then introducing the person they interviewed to the entire class or to smaller groups.

Directions
Divide your class into pairs.
Each person interviews the other. The information gained forms a brief introduction speech they'll present to the class OR to smaller groups.
Establish a time limit for the interviews. 10 minutes works well. Keep track of the time and call change at the halfway point, 5 minutes, to ensure both people get an opportunity to be interviewed and to interview.
When students present the introduction may begin like this: "This is Mary and she was named after her mother..." and the students will go through each answer by presenting it like a speech.
