Buddy Cards: Setting Out Together with Inspiration and Challenges

Introductory cards are conversation starters. They help you learn a little more about your buddy. Especially at the beginning of your relationship, when you don’t know anything about each other yet, it can sometimes be hard to break the ice. In that case, you can take turns asking each other a question. Or maybe put your own spin on it. Of course, it’s also perfectly fine if the cards simply lead to a natural conversation. The cards are there for you. You can also use them at your birthday party, a local restaurant, or any other occasion. Have fun with them.

Buddy Cards are a non-binding resource for buddy pairs looking for extra inspiration. They offer tips for starting conversations, doing activities together, and reflecting on what you’ve experienced. Whether you use them is entirely up to you! The cards are divided into 4 categories:

1. Conversation Starters: Divided into three phases—Getting to Know Each Other, Deepening Your Connection, and Reflecting Together
2. Inspiration / Out and About Together: Activities that buddies can do together.
3. New Challenges: Small tasks to try something new.
4. Dilemmas and Choices: Choice-based questions that spark fun conversations.

Our group activities offer something for everyone—indoors or outdoors, at a bar or a community center, creative or culinary, cultural or athletic. Want to enjoy a fun group activity? We organize activities for registered participants and visitors, with or without a buddy, and with or without day activities.
