PAST THE MESSAGE with a twist #ORALCOMM



 Everyone's lined up. The first member receives the message, who then passes it to the next one. The message is relayed up until to the last member, who then writes the message down. The first group who does it right gets ten points. These points get lower the later you finish. Sounds easy, but there's a twist. You can only use facial gestures to pass the message, or in this case, number.

We made guidelines on how to pass the numbers around. Raising your eyebrows amounts you to 1000. Moving your nose (still without using your hands!) amounts you to 100. Pouting amounts you to 10. Winking gives you 1. You're free to use other facial gestures for other digits, as long as you don't speak, make sounds, or move your hands.

Information gets passed in different forms, sometimes distant from the actual source. One could mention about someone wanting to purchase a car, then the information suddenly turns into someone trying to purchase a car to court a lady. Assumptions and misconceptions come into play.The activity was fun and thrilling it taught us the flow of communication considering barriers around us.
