Team-Building for Fun and Profit! - Thursday, Third Period [07/13].
"Welcome back, everyone," Ignis took the charge of the class this week, which meant he greeted everyone with a nod and a serious demeanor that seemed to provide a contrast to the lighter amusement of his cohorts flanking him on each side. "Last week, we all got the chance to get to know each other a little bit, and this week, we will be expanding on that concept. After all, familiarity with your teammates is what leads to trust, and trust can make all the difference in a challenging situation.
"So this week, we're going to be exploring a game called Common Ground, wherein the goal is to work with each other to try to find some sort of common ground that you all share. Now, obviously, being a resident of this island is right out, as is something like being a student in this class. Those we already know we have in common, and the more you challenge yourself to find something a bit more nuanced that encompasses everyone, the more satisfying that connection will be. And, perhaps, should we be successful in unlocking our commonality quickly, then we will simply continue to find other things we may share in common, as well."
"We're included in this, too, by the way," Prompto put in with a grin. "Leaders are also a part of the team, and with all three of us added to the mix, that makes it even more challenging!"
"So, for example," Ignis elaborated, "were it just the three of us, our common ground would be pretty easy. We're all from the same place, we've all been members of the same group, and, to jump off of topical things, we share a deceased friend in common. We've all been teachers here at this school, have all lived together at some point, and the list could go on and on, but very few of those things would be able to branch out to everyone else here. The challenge, then, is to find what we do all have in common, besides the most obvious of being in this class and living on this island."
"So, with that in mind," Gladio concluded, "let's find out what we've got. Anyone got any ideas to get us started?"

Was a little more difficult when the reason for all that distraction was in the class, as well, but, well, Gladio did always like a good challenge.
