Like don’t like things in common coin games
Coin game 1
Play the same game, but first flipping a coin to see if you should make a positive or
negative statement.
Heads = one point for finding a positive thing in common
Tails = one point for finding a negative thing in common

Coin game 2
Play the same game, but this flip a coin first. If you get a head, you get one point if you
have the same feelings. If you get tails, you play the opposite game with one point for
finding things that you don’t have in common.
Heads = 1 point for things in common
Tails = 1 point for differences
