Exercise / ‘Observing a skit’
STEP 1:
Identify volunteers among the participants to act out one or two pre-written skits.
Provide each volunteer with a script for the skit and give him or her 15 minutes to
prepare. Divide the rest of the participants into groups of two or three.
STEP 2:
Ask the volunteers to perform the skit for the group, but without speaking.
STEP 3:
Ask the rest of the participants to discuss and answer the following questions:
• What does each character’s body language tell you about him or her?
• What does the body language tell you about the topic being discussed?
• How do you think other participants might respond to each character?
STEP 4:
Ask the volunteers to perform the skit a second time while speaking.
STEP 5:
Ask the rest of the participants to discuss and answer the following questions:
• How do you read each character’s body language now? What emotions are they
displaying?
• How would you summarise what each character is saying? How would you summarise
the discussion?
• How would you reframe or launder what each person is saying to help others understand what is being expressed?
• What questions would you ask each character about what he or she is saying in order
to clarify what is being said and to move the discussion forward?
• What personality type do you think each character falls under?
STEP 6:
Repeat these steps with additional skits, if they are available.
