Instructions:
1. Have students stand in a single file line (or two lines for competition).
2. Whisper a sentence (or perform an action) to the first student in each line.
3. That student whispers the same sentence (or mimics the action) to the next student.
4. Continue this process until the last student in the line.
5. The last student says the sentence aloud (or performs the action) for the whole group.
6. The class checks how accurate the final message/action is compared to the original.
Variations & tips:
1. The last student sends a message/action back up the line and the first student reveals if it’s the same as what they started with.
