Description

To introduce the idea of the importance of careful listening to each other’s voices.

Listening carefully to others involves more than just our ears - we also listen and take in information in other ways.

Resources

None

Instructions

Sit children in a circle and play The Whisper Game. Whisper a message into the ear of the child next to them, then ask the child to whisper the message as they have heard it to the next child (and so on).
They are not allowed to repeat the message once it has been said. The message gets passed around the circle from child to child back to the teacher who states the final message.

Discussion points
• Did we end up with the same message as we started with?
• Why not?
• What do we need to do to listen to each other really well? (e.g. eye contact, focussed attention)
