Scenario

A diamond was stolen from a shop on the High Street last night. The diamond was priceless. Nobody knows exactly when the diamond was stolen, but it was certainly taken between 7 pm and 9 pm. A number of people were seen outside the shop at the time. They are being questioned by the police. At present, they are the prime suspects!

You saw a lot of cats in front of the shop.

Cut the cards. Give each small group a set of cards and dice. Students take turns throwing the dice. The student who gets the lowest number takes a card and answers the question. If two students get the same low number, they both have to throw the dice again to see who gets the lowest. Repeat the same procedure until most questions have been answered or until you run out of time. Enjoy!

This exercise may enable student groups to discover how they work together; their strengths and how they need to improve.Procedure:1 Give the students the handout of the scenario and the brief bio of the nine survivors and make clear the 30 minute time limit imposed.2 Explain that each group will have five minutes in which to report back and justify their decision. Reporting back is not essential but gives the students the opportunity to explain their decisions. If there is a large number of groups, an alternative would be to record their choices on paper for display.3 Carry out a debriefing of how the group had functioned. The questions you ask will depend upon the learning you want the students to achieve from the exercise but should encourage reflection on their experience. Examples - How did they reach their decision?What roles did group members adopt?Did they listen to each other?What have they learned about the functions of a group?What would they do next time?
