Hearing Before Seeing

This is a slight twist on the usual "getting to know you" icebreaker games. Ask the people to stand in two lines, with their backs to each other. Ask one row to step one person aside, so that they do not know who they are talking to.
If you like, you can blindfold people so that they don't take a sneaky look at who they are talking to, or you could trust your people to simply keep their eyes shut.
Ask them to try to get to know each other and after, describe to the group your partner who was on your back.
