This classroom activity, also known as Concentric Circles or Inside/Outside Circles, helps young people practice sharing their thoughts and ideas with many different partners in a low-stakes environment. It can be particularly useful for English language learners as they work on oral communications, build fluency, and sharpen active listening skills.
