WARM-UP: TELEPHONE
Four Minutes
Explain to students that the purpose of this warm-up is to get them thinking about what it means to listen well.
Ask students to stand in a circle.
Explain that you will be playing the game of Telephone. Ask if any student is familiar with the game and would like to explain how to play.
Start by whispering the following sentence into a student’s ear: “I want to know what it feels like to listen and what it feels like to be heard.”
This first student will then whisper what they think they heard into the next student’s ear. Students will repeat this process until the last person is reached. The last student will then say the word or phrase they heard out loud for the whole class to hear. More likely than not, the last student will have heard something totally different from the original message.
Ask students to move their chairs into a circle.
DEBRIEF
Facilitate a short discussion using the following prompts:
What happened to the original message?
Was it easy or difficult to hear the message? Why do you think it might have been difficult?
Responses might include the following:
“It was hard to hear because the person was whispering.”
“We weren’t making eye contact.”
“Students were talking or laughing.”
“It’s hard to understand an isolated word or phrase without any context; i.e., without context, words and phrases can sound like they come from out of the blue.”
