Whats health got to do with it?

• Have two people in your group take out a piece of
  paper and tear it up so that every person has 3
  small pieces of paper.
• Think up three topics that you believe could have
  no connection to health.
• Write them on the three different scraps of paper
• Put them in the envelope and pass the envelope
  around with each person getting a turn.
• When you get the envelope reach in and pull out a
  topic, make a connection to health, then take
  that slip of paper out of the envelope. If you
  cant make a connection say pass and keep the
  envelope going.
• You are finished when connections have been made
  to all topics
• If you are stumped save it and well open it up
  to the class.
