HOW
TO DEVELOP THE TASK.- Each member will take a card from the basket
which will have the name of their "secret friend. If a group member
picks their own name out, they have to place the card back into the
basket and pick a different one. It is fundamental that during the task
nobody mentions who their secret friend. The coordinator will let you
know the length of the task at the beginning. During the task, the
group members will have to get to know their "secret friend" really
well, without letting them know. They need to find out about their
attitude, behaviour,...... When the task comes to an end, the group
should sit in the centre, clore his eyes and he should guess who his
secret friend is (who will be back to back with him).
He will have two chances to guess. Both will talk about their
experience infront of their colleagues. The game will continue when the
identified person closes his eyes and he has to guess his secret
friend. And so forth.
THINGS
TO CONSIDER.- The length of the game depends on the context of the
group. The task could go on for one day (at the beginning of a course)
or a month (in meeting groups or classes).
