see things from different perspectives

Which food is better: pizza or tacos?

Would you rather go on a hike or to a movie?

What skill is more valuable: creativity or logic?

Which is worse: being bored or being too busy?

Have everyone physically divide into sides—pro pizza to the right; pro taco to the left. Let all the like-minded people discuss the virtues of their position for a while, and then have a representative try to sell the other side of the room. This will give everyone a chance to see things from different perspectives. It will open everyone’s minds for a productive meeting.
