Explain to the students that the purpose of today's activity is to help them find common interests with their classmates and make new friends. Emphasize the importance of building social connections for their personal and academic growth.

• Hand out a 'Printable Interest Card' to each student.
• Instruct students to write down three of their favorite hobbies or interests on the card.
• Collect the cards and shuffle them.
• Randomly distribute the cards back to the students, ensuring no one gets their own card.
• Give students 3 minutes to find the person whose card they have by asking about the interests listed.
• Once students find their match, they should sit together and spend the remaining time discussing their interests.

Gather the students together and ask a few volunteers to share something interesting they learned about their peers. Reiterate the importance of staying open to new friendships and encouraging each other to be inclusive.
