14.b) WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YES OR NO?
OBJECTIVES
- Promote spontaneous participation of the group members to conclude a
debate.
MATERIALS
NEEDED- A space (internal or external), tape to define two different
areas.
AGE -
Any
HOW TO
DEVELOP THE TASK - This game should be carried out in a space where you
can easily divide the area into two parts, e.g. a sports field. To divide the
space we should make a line in the centre. The area on the right is the YES
area and the area on the left is the NO area. In the middle are those that are
undecided. The game consists of agreeing or disagreeing with determined
statements or yes or no questions which the presenter will make. You should
start off with generic statements like (Today is a sunny day, Do you have
blonde hair?) and then move onto questions relating to the topic that the
presnter would like the group members to debate. During the debate, the
presenter will be the only person moderating. When a statement or question is
said, the members of the group should go to the relevant area according to
their personal opinion.
THINGS TO
CONSIDER- If you are playing with children you should target your debate
accordingly. The presenter should controlo the time of the debate.
