Objectives
To get participants to offer their opinions, encourage listening, and promote better discussion in the group.
Method
Divide the group into fours.
Ask one member of the group to be the main character and that the others are their friends.
The friends have to tell the main character about themselves and the main character will later have to introduce their friends to the larger group.
You can rotate the main character a few times to give everyone experience of this position.
This exercise also encourages questioning and listening skills within the group.
Discussion Questions
Did anyone feel uncomfortable doing this exercise? If so, why?
How can we use this exercise for the rest of the training event?
Appropriate Time Required
Flexible, dependent on group size.
Maximum time 15 minutes.
