I like people who...

After the Me Bag activity we played a game called: "I like people who_____." The goal of the game is to switch places with a person who likes the same thing as you. For example: I like people who like cats. Whoever also likes cats would switch places with another person. If you are in the middle you get to say, "I like people who_____."
