Method Instruction
|
The “Big Win” is game based on questions. You can prepare the questions like what you want to discuss.
|
Step-by-Step Description
|
1. The game consists of sheets of paper with a question on the one side and a number of scores on the other (20, 40, 60, 80 or 100). These sheets are hanging at the wall with the numbers visible. Build teams of equal size, e.g. three teams. After building the groups the facilitator explains the game.
2. One after the other group chooses a category of knowledge, e.g. “racism” with a score, for example “40”. If the person and/or the group can give the right answer, they receive that number of points. Each team has an account. The next player of the next group takes over and so on.
3. Some examples for categories of knowledge are:
a) Boys (girls or Gender), b) racism, c) Violence, d) Education. When picking the topics, you should consider what the group is concerned with.
4. Some examples for questions under the category “violence”:
a) What is the difference between aggression and violence? (20 points)
b) What is the most violent institution? (40 points)
c) Joker (60 points)
d) Is name-calling violence? (80 points)
e) You hear a racist joke from a student of another school Class. What do you do? (100 points)
boys
a) What do you think about the statement: Boys do not play with dolls? Have a short discussion in your group and give a statement.
b) The man is the head of the family – what do you think about that? (40 points)
c) What are boys most afraid of? (60 points)
d) Do you want to be like your father when you are an adult? (80 points)
f) Your friend is lovesick. Please show in a little role game how you would make him feel better. (100 points)
The questions are not very much directed on hard facts, but more on the attitude or consciousness. The intention is to have little discussions about the attitudes/answers. Make clear that it is often difficult to decide what is the real right or wrong answer.
