Pass the Word

Form the den in a large circle. Den leader whispers a message to one of the players, who then goes to the next player and whispers the same message to him, and so on around the circle. The last player to receive the massage repeats it out loud. How close was it to the message that started the game? You will probably find that the message has been garbled. Point out that this shows how hard it is to communicate clearly and why both speaker and listener must concentrate on the message.
