Teacher Resource 3
The Broken Telephone, is a game which one person whispers a message to another. The goal of this game is to have students pass on the message one by one until the last player announces the message to the entire group.
Part 1:Depending on the size of the class, teacher may choose to have students sit or stand in a row, or have students spread out in the classroom (e.g., against the wall, at each corner of the room). If possible, teacher may divide the class into two teams and see which team gets the most information closely matching to the original message.
Teacher will start whispering a line from Mr Brown the Circus Clown by Kenn Nesbitt:
Mr. Brown, the circus clownputs his clothes on upside down.He wears his hat upon his toesand socks and shoes upon his nose.
He ties his ties around his thighsand wraps his belt around his eyes.He hangs his earrings from his hipsand stockings from his fingertips.
He puts his glasses on his feetand shirt and coat around his seat.And when he's dressed, at last he standsand walks around upon his hands.
Teacher to choose as much / little information from the above poem to serve as the messages to be passed around.
Part 2:Regroup students and ask students to share if this game is difficult, and why it can be.Introduce tips for Active Listening:
Look at the speaker and pay attention to his/her facial expression and body gesture.
Try to remember some special words (keywords) that you hear.
