Communication exercise

  On Monday we played a game called What and Who? it was a communication exercise that challenges the communication skills among our group. Jimmy showed us a paint tube and a board eraser, then he told us that the paint tube was going to be the what? and the board eraser was going to be who? He started by telling us that he  was going to introduces what? and pass it to the left. When he introduced it to the person next to him, he was going to say, "this is a what?" and then person would say "what?" and he would answer, "a what?" then the person would say "oh a what?". Then, that person would past to the next person next to them and they would say this is' "a what?" and the person that they where trying to pass it to would say "what?",  like they didn't know what it was and the person  with the object would act like they forgot what it was and would have to turn back and ask Jimmy what it was and jimmy would say "a what?" and that person would say that to the person that they where trying to pass it to. An they would say, oh a what? then the circle would repeat itself again.
 
  After a while of passing a what around he then he started to past the who? to the right side when he introduced it to the this person he was going to say, "this is a who? and then person would say who? then he would say a who? then the person would say "oh a who?. This process went on the same as "a what?"then that person would past to the next person next to them and they would say this is' "a who? and then it would repeat itself again.
 
  As we played for a while the game got challenging when the person in the middle had to pass a what and a who at the same time. It got confusing because when the left side got the chance to say "this is a who" and pass the eraser to the left side and the right side had to pas the paint of tube and say "this is a who", some of the people in the group had a problem of keeping track of what they had to say.  In the end the object of the game was to pass both objects around the circle and to have them end up in Jimmy's hands. In  the end the thing that I learned about the game was that it required a lot of focus, group communication and memory. I really liked the game, it was so much fun. I liked it so much that I decided to play it with my 3rd graders at work and the same problem happen to them like it happened in our group; they had a hard time when the person in the middle had to pass the objects at the same time, in the end they had a good time playing the game.
