Empathy game

by Jerry Pardiwala
(India)

Can be performed on a small group of size 8-10.

Ask all the participants to take a small piece of paper which can be folded & used as a chit. Ask them to write down the following 3 things:

To: Name of any other participant in the group
From: The name of the person himself or herself
Task: Any task that the person would like the person in "to" to perform in the room/on stage

How is it played: Ask the participants to fold the piece of paper, after filling the information, in a way that the information is not seen. After that, start picking up the chits one by one & ask the person in "from" column to perform the task that s/he has given to the person in the "to" column. There will be a lot of embarrasment & fun.

Moral: Why do we expect others to do things which sometimes we are incapable of doing?
