Instructions

STAGE 1 (Oral Messages):

1 .Everyone sits in a circle. Explain that you’re going to play a game called Broken Telephone.
2. An adult volunteer or Young Leader needs to think of an appropriate message to secretly pass around the circle.
3. The adult volunteer or Young Leader then whispers the message to the next person in the circle.
4. The whispered message is passed from person-to-person.
5. The last person announces to the group the message they heard. The message may have changed as it's been passed along, providing a fun laugh for all!
6. The adult volunteer or young leader should then choose someone else to select the next message.
7. To make it more competitive, you could play this in two teams and, with the same message being given for both teams, see who gets the most accurate message down their line.

STAGE 2: (Physical Messages):
1. You can also play this by passing a sequence of actions, such as patting your head, turning round and rubbing your tummy, instead of a message.
2. Everyone should stand in two lines, with everyone facing the same way, so everyone can see each other’s backs.
3. The first person should think of a sequence and tap the next person on the shoulder to turn around when they’re ready. They could also say their name.
4. The first person should show their sequence of movements to the second person and turn back around.
5. The second person should then turn around, tap the third person on the shoulder to tell them to turn around and pass on the sequence of actions, and so on, until the sequence reaches the end of the line.
6. The last person should show the sequence to the group that they were shown. The movements may have changed as it's been passed along, providing a fun laugh for all!
7. The adult volunteer or young leader should then choose someone else to select the next sequence of movements.
