How should I break the ice?

My dear friend has decided to hold a girl’s night in at her house. We did a Painting with a Twist class a few months back and had a blast, but she’s convinced I can teach one just as well with a fraction of the cost.

Well, cost I can manage. Painting I can manage. Being the center of attention… Only works if I’m well staged and scripted.

Since there will be wine involved, bless that liquid courage, I only need a way to get a feel of the room and the ladies, and get comfortable in the ‘Teacher’ role.

These are all kind of yuppie/hippie type women. Late 20s, nice neighborhood, enough money to worry about whether their coffee is fair trade and their eggs are cage free.

I’m just trying to come up with maybe a short game or activity or something to break the ice before the painting begins. Nothing offensive, debate-style, or provocative. Keep it light and positive.

Any ideas, my Squishies?
