Time:
This exercise will take about 20 minutes to complete. In total, allowing for discussion, we recommend allowing 30 minutes for completion.
Aims:
• To explore the importance of trust and how easily it is lost.
Group Size:
Suitable for use with groups of almost any size.
Useful For:
Staff at all levels.
You'll Need:
• A whistle or bell (optional) to let the group know when to stop.
• A selection of small prizes.
Notes:
This provides an interesting insight into how tribalism, based on fear, is created and the implications of that.
If you don’t have sufficient space to allow you to leave the room, pre-prepare some slips of paper to distribute to participants to let them know if they are human or alien. Emphasise that they are to keep their status a secret from everyone else.
