 ACTIVITY 1 “Pass the Message”
The teacher divides the class into five (5) groups and
let them arrange themselves in lines from the front
to the back of the classroom. The last persons at
the back will be given a paragraph to whisper to the
persons in front of them. Repeat the procedure
until it reaches the first persons in the lines, who
then will write the paragraph on the board or on a
sheet of paper. The group that finishes first with the
most accurate output wins the game.
