I've also set up a Thunk blog and would encourage anyone and everyone to use it and post a comment. I was going to shamelessly plug my own blog now, but as I've automagically done that already I'll just plug the Thunk blog: Further to the pingback (still trying to figure out how those things work) I’ve been using these with my tutor group on a morning with great success, so thank you very much for that.

Get you into the lesson quickly and in an entertaining and/or educational way. Instead of the dull "yes Sir/Miss" response, answer a question. eg 'if you were a cartoon character, which would you be?' We get some really radical themes too, - kitchen appliances, colour, weather system etc. This can tell you more about someone's mood, personality, and learning style than some of the convoluted tests we carry out!

More fun still - anyone absent provokes a group resonse - shout out the item of choice - colours theme - absent people are Puce or Taupe - serves em right! My lot ask for themed registers quite often - guess they haven't sussed the psychology links yet! another V quick idea – themed registers.
