It’s important to note that the points raised during the negotiation should be concrete. At the end of the game, they’ll have to explain what happened at their various groups.

Examples of questions you can ask at the end of the game.

–          Which strategies have you implemented or used during the negotiation? Which of these were the ones more useful?

–          During the negotiations, did you all rely on the ‘majority rule’? Why do or why not?

 Who Am I Game – Just as you can identify your friends’ name, mention qualities and a lot about their personalities, you’re going to do the same for stars, monuments, traits and anything you can think of.

Materials needed: Pieces of paper, glue, scissors.

Times: 10-20 minutes

How to Play: In this activity Who Am I Game each player will receive a tag that has a well-known name, an object, another character, or even qualities. The tags can be prepared in advance by the organizer or purchased. The tag sticks to this forehead because the person holding it does not need to know who it is. Once the tag has passed, you’ll ask some yes or no that concern it. The players should answer questions with yes or no. No other response is accepted.

Example questions:

-Am I a singer?

-Is it in the US?
