Pass the message!
Group yourselves according to your seating alignment.

I will tell the phrase to the first person in the line and you will pass the message
backward. Once the message reaches the last person in the line, this last person will go in
front and state the message.
 6

Oftentimes, we want to pass

messages to others. But we have to
consider ways to report what someone
says or thinks.
