Speaking Game 4

WHISPERING MESSAGE

Don't believe a rumour. This game is designed to teach that wiseword. If you hear a rumour, you must check or confirm it. You have to listen carefully what you hear, unless you will send a wrong information to others.

This game is often played in some occassions, but we can apply it in accordance with our purposes in teching English.

Purposes:
- To review grammar and other lessons, such as: proverb, moral value, wise words, etc.
- To train the students send an information correctly.
- To train the students listen an information carefully.

Level:
- Intermediate to advance

Preparation:
- Some sentences/messages written in a paper.

How to play:
- Make groups of 10 students, or up to the amount of your students in a class.
- Members of the group must stay stand in a row, about 1 meter in distance for each, and face in a front direction.
- Ask the most back side member to read a sentence/message silently and memorize it completely.
- Then, that member whisper it to a friend in front of him/her.
- Then, he/she whisper it again to another friend in front of him/her.
- And so forth they do the same until the last member in the front position.
- The last member, then, write the sentence/message in the board.
- The winner is the group who can write the sentence/message as close as the original sentence/message given by the teacher.

Note:
We can make sentences/messages to whisper based on students level.
We will find different sentences/messages from the original ones. That's why it's funny.
