Description

Scouts will experience inclusion and exclusion in different ways.
Scouts will begin to understand the feelings of people who are regularly excluded, for example, disabled people

Resources

Enough coloured stickers or different coloured small Post-its for each player. There should be 3-6 different colours.

Instructions

Stage 1: Inclusion
1. Ask the players to form a circle and face the outside of the circle
(inside or outside)
2. Ask the players to close their eyes and tell them that you will put a coloured sticker on their foreheads Players will see the colour of the others’ stickers but not their own
3. Ask the players to walk around for 30 to 60 seconds. Tell the players to group themselves with people with the same colour sticker. They must do this without speaking. Groups can vary in size but make sure every person is included in a group.
4. Once the groups are formed, start a new game by putting a new sticker on everyone’s forehead. This time ask the players to form groups where everyone has a different coloured sticker. Again, make sure every person is part of a group.
Stage 2: Exclusion
1. Repeat the game a third time, placing new stickers on the players’ foreheads. This time, distribute the stickers in order to form two or three groups of around the same size and one group of only one young person.
2. Observe the different reactions and ask the following questions:
* How did you feel when you found a group of people you could join?
* How did you feel when you couldn’t find a group to join right away? Were you afraid that there was no group for you?
* To the person who was excluded, how did you feel when every group rejected you?
* Have you ever had similar experiences at school, at Scouts, or with your friends?
* How do you think you would feel if you were excluded because you are disabled?
