*Community Circle*
*Community Circle*
Telephone
Students sit in a circle. The leader whispers a word or phrase to one student, who whispers it to the next student, and so on. Students try not to alter the message in any way; if a student isn't clear about the messages after hearing it once, she/he may say "Operator," indicating she'd like to have it repeated. When the message makes its way all the way around the circle, the final person says her version of it.
Variation: Send different messages in opposite directions at the same time.
Circle Question

2.) Share a time you misjudged someone who was different than you. What did you learn from the experience?
3.) How would you describe your personal identity? How is it similar or different than that of people around you?
