Instructions

  • Everyone will play the same game except that each group has just slightly different rules. When a player moves to a new group, unable to communicate, they will face difficulties in winning a trick
  • Form groups of 4-6 people, which sit in a circle, each group well away from the others. Define an order for the groups by placing a numbered sign in front of each group
  • Each group is provided the same materials but rules sheets (which are different for each group, but this information is secret for participants)
  • Each group should read the rules and try out practise a few games until everyone understands how to play the game (10-15 min)
  • Once everyone is ready, pick up all the rule sheets and announce that the real game is played as a tournament with no verbal or written conversation. Players can communicate with gestures and draw pictures (not words!) if needed.
  • The tournament begins. Each round lasts a few minutes
  • In this tournament there is one rule: when a round is completed, the player with the most tricks moves to the table with a higher number, while the player with the fewest tricks moves to the table with the lowest number. If there is a drawing, the person whose first name is alphabetically first wins and moves to the table with a higher number. Repeat rounds until the game is finished (20-30 min)
  • After the game ask the participants how they feel (this game simulates a real-life situation). Try to discuss with the participants using the following questions (20 min): What specific real-life situations does this game remind you of? What does the simulation suggest doing if you find yourself in this situation in the ‘real world’? What are the main causes of problems or difficulties? What did you do during the game that worked for you? How is BARNGA related to the working topic?
