#11 The Whisper Game

Supplies That You Will Need:

1. List of questions

2. Ear plugs

Directions to the Games:

In this game you will give each person a pair of earplugs and after that you will pair each person up into partners. After everyone is with a partner you will pass out a page of questions to each pair. After everyone has everything you will have one person put in their ear plugs and then your partner will whisper the questions to you and your partner who has the ear plugs in has to answer the questions as best as they can. You will do that for five minutes and then you switch parts do the same things. When you switch parts the person who already had the ear plus in can take them out.

After the partners both have done the game for 5 minutes you will start a 5 minute discussion.
