Steps

1.Here is a more advanced formula of the Arabic phone:

Start by telling a story that has an emotional impact on children

  •  e.g., a child who goes to the doctor because he broke his leg. His mother only has $5, the doctor is furious and refuses to treat the child. A nurse who had seen the scene waited for the doctor to leave and offered to bandage the child without paying anything, the mother cries with joy.

 

2. Secondly, put the children in a circle and have them say a sentence on the principle of the Arabic telephone, such as "would you rather be treated by the doctor or the nurse?" or "a doctor is someone who treats sick people"

The Arabic telephone can also be made by passing simple or complex sentences, to perceive their distortion such as these:

  • The Archduchess's dog is chic and nice
  • MeHongSon's kids are Karen and love cream

The sentence may have disruptions.

Our emotions and history affect what we hear and speak.
