How to play ''Chinese Whispers''

1. Depending on the number of people, put the players in a suitable formation that is comfortable for everyone. The usual formation is a circle or similar shape, with the players tight against the edge of the wall, but each team to their own preference.
2. Now, one person decides on a word or phrase to whisper into the ear of the person next to them. It does not matter what word or phrase is chosen.
3. The person who had the word/phrase whispered to them now passes it to the person next to them in the same way as before, and so on down the team of people.
4. When it gets to the last person to have the word/phrase whispered to them, they have to say what they think was whispered to them. If it is correct, then you may do some kind of celebration to reflect the joy of getting it right.
   On the other hand, it may be the complete opposite, or it may have metamorphosised into something totally unrelated and somewhat baffling.
