For the next activity

• Write down something you have done that you think no one else has done.
• If you have also done that thing, stand. If you haven't done that thing, remain seated.
• These should be things that anyone could have done (e.g. I have been to America/I went bungee-jumping once) and not things like "My name is Brian".
  

What unique or special thing have you done?

Great job!
