Pass the message game sentences

Introduction

Trust me, this can be the most complicated part of this game. Now,the next person will look at the picture and write a sentence that describes the picture. In 60 seconds or less. Then they will fold it over again – and pass it. Then a picture will be drawn of the new sentence. Then a new sentence. In the game, a message is given to the first person in a line of people and then they are instructed to pass the message on by whispering it in the ear of the next person in line. The message goes from person to person until it reaches the end of the line, and that person announces the message to the group.

People who work together are communicating with each other. If they communicate effectively, this will enhance the performance of the group. If communication is poor, the quality of group work will suffer. The importance of a good communication is demonstrated in this “Whispering game” (also called “Message Relay”) by illustrating the breakdown of the communication. The exercise can be used as a starter for sessions on (effective) communication. Clubs will benefit if there is good communication between members.

Objectives

  1. To illustrate the breakdown of communication.
