The document provides instructions for an icebreaker activity called "Celebrity Cocktail". Participants will receive name tags with QR codes containing a celebrity identity. Participants mingle and scan each other's codes to learn identities but not reveal them. They provide clues about the celebrity and later guess identities. The goal is for participants to have fun learning about each other in a comical way through this technology-enabled icebreaker activity.

6. Welcome to Celebrity Cocktail! You will receive a name tag with a QR Code on it. This will be placed on your back and you can NOT view it. When prompted begin to mingle. Scan the QR Code and/or read the name that you meet, taking care that the person can not see the image of their celebrity. Begin by saying, “Hey! I know you!!” (DON’T GIVE THEM THEIR NAME) Share one clue about that person in a comical way. (Don’t be too obvious either!)

7. Welcome to Celebrity Cocktail! Do NOT ask someone to reveal your identity to you. Once everyone has had a chance to mingle, you will get a chance to find out if you are correct. When prompted, introduce yourself by saying… “Hello, I’m ____ (your guess). Participants will let you know if you are correct or not.

15. Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
