Aim of the Game: To act or react depending on situations.
Learning Objectives:
• To demonstrate spontaneous interpersonal skills in a given situation.
• To discuss ways to improve interpersonal skills.
Structure:
In small groups discussion and plenary presentation.
Time:

Method:
• Ask each group (Patrol) to find a corner in the venue or room. Let each Patrol stand in a cluster facing the others.
• Tell them that each group takes turns in picking a situation card and has around a minute to prepare and demonstrate or present the situation in the centre of the room and not to stop unless told to do so - not even when another person comes into the scene.
• Meanwhile, tell the groups to observe what is going on in the skit/scene and that you will go to any of the groups at any given time - and tap the shoulder of anyone in the group. The person selected gets into the skit/scene and engages with the other actors.
• Move to the next group who will pick another situation card and repeat the same process.

A group of teenagers making fun of another person.

• What personal facilities, characteristics or attributes did you use to relate to the other characters in the scene?
