Goal:
Learn new phrases and work on listening and pronunciation.
What we like:
- No player limit
Steps
- Players sit in a circle
If there are several groups, line up the players, one line for each team
- We sit around
- The facilitator says a sentence in the ear of one of the players
- Everyone will have to repeat it to your neighbour, until the last player on the team, who will have to say their sentence out loud.
If there are several groups, the facilitator gives the sentence to the last player in each line then gives the signal to start the game
- Example sentences:
- A hunter who knows how to hunt without his dog is a good hunter
- A myriad of woodlice flutter past the ventilator
- Me Tarzan, you Jane
- ...
- If the last player in the circle (or line) correctly repeats the sentence stated at the start by the facilitator, the team wins a point
CONCRETELY :
- Were you attentive from the start or distracted?
- What are the good qualities to succeed in this game?
Concentration, memorization, comprehension, listening
FOR FURTHER :
- Find several reasons why it is difficult to get the message across and get it repeated correctly
- Can this happen in everyday life? A message is transmitted incorrectly: do you have any examples?
#convey
- Communication between people is a bit like the game of the Arabic telephone: you hear a lot, but you can't remember everything. Messages are sometimes distorted when relayed by someone else, even though they do their best to stay true to the original story.
Do not entrust secrets to people who know little about you, they could very easily distort this information without realizing it
- fidelity: the whole point of learning is to be faithful to what I have received. When someone whispers a sentence in my ear, it's like when I have to repair an engine for an apprentice mechanic or give an injection for a young nurse, I transcribe what I have received or learned, as best as I can. , as closely as possible.
- transmission: Once I have retained or learned well, that I am comfortable, I can put my more personal touch on it which will give my act even more value, humanity or speed... I will then be able to transmit because we all have to transmit: to our children, to our students, to those younger than us
The nurse can improve her stitching gesture thanks to her experience, the mechanic can start building small objects with a motor, ...
- Growing: Everyone has been given talents. What does a talent allow? It allows in a given field, to develop, magnify, perfect what I have received, towards more good, beauty and truth, to be transmitted and this is how a civilization grows!!
Good advice: Make what you have received grow!
