1. Zip Zap Zoom
A.Everybody sits in a circle. Give the instructions of the game.
- If I say zip zap zip, take the seat to your left
- If I say zip zap zap, take the seat to your right
- If I say zip zap zoom, take the seat on the opposite direction
B. After the instructions, try the game. Once they know how to go about it, start. Repeat 5 times until everybody enjoys. This time they are already sitting away from their own group of friends.
2. My Dyad
A. Gather everyone around. Let them count off by 2’s. Now they are in dyad. Dyad means two persons talking.
B.See to it that each has a partner. Let them talk about their own lives. Partner 1 tells of anything about himself. Topics are about the person’s life, about himself, his likes and dislikes, etc.
C. After 3-5 minutes, partner 1 will now listen to partner 2, who will also tell about himself. D. When all have experienced talking and listening to their partners, ask them to listen to the dyads. Each one will tell something he has learned about his dyad and vice versa, until everybody has done it.
E. Process the experience by getting the feeling of the group about their experiences. The facilitator may ask these questions:
- How do you feel when you were telling about yourself to your dyad?
- How does it feel to be listening to your dyad?
- How do you feel when your dyad tells the group about you?
F. Jot down all these feelings.
G. Ask them about the effects of the exercise to them what does the activity imply. Possible answers are:
• Knowing each other promotes trust and understanding
• Friendship is a must in any group activity
• No man is an island
• Knowing others fosters unity and cooperation
• Openness and trust are avenues to understanding
• Gain more friends
H.Summarize to close the discussion.
