Instructions

Think of a time when you saw someone you knew and as you approached them, eyes wide oen, smile on your face, hand extended, you suddenly realize that it was not the person yoiu thought it was.  You bob and weave and do whatever is necessary to save yourself from the embarassment of enthusiastically greeting a total stranger.

Have the group milling about.  when they make eye contact with someone, they slowly walk towards each other, all the while waving, smiling, blowing kisses or whatever other motion might indicate the homecoming that is about to happen.  When you get within a few feet of the person you realize that this is a TOTAL STRANGER.  To save face, pretend that you were really looking at someone directly behind the person you were approaching so you move right past them without missing a beat and great the person behind them with a hearty handshake and say, "Great to see you!"
