Your character is in line at security at the airport. Her purse/his carry on bag has gone through the x-ray machine and the guards have seen something they deem suspicious. Now your character must empty everything onto the table. What, exactly, spills out? The items you choose will tell reams about your person. Don’t forget the one suspicious thing.
Do this exercise a few times, using different items. Different items equals different person. You’ll get a sense of how characterization is built on even the smallest details.
