Description

Surt Smart Connect #3 What's the message?

How can messages change online? When you’ve posted information online, how much control do you have over it?

Resources

paper, pencil

Instructions

Give everyone a slip of paper and sit in a circle. The first person whispers a word to their neighbour, who draws a picture of what they hear and passes it to the third person, who whispers what they see to the next person and so on with the message alternating between words and pictures.

Is the message the same when it gets back to the beginning? Start with simple objects or phrases then make the message more complex. Ask your leader to secretly select someone in the circle who will change one word of the message. Can you work out where it
changed?
