Resumé of exercise
This fun verbal exercise illustrates the success of cooperative working, stimulating group co-operation, teamwork and listening. The group stands in a circle, and working as one ‘author’ will create a story, passing from person to person in the circle until the story is complete. The story that the group produces will make sense only if the members of the group listen to one another and support one another in its telling.
