Preparation
- Students form pairs and stand in two parallel lines, side by side with their partner.
- One line (e.g., left) remains stationary, while the other (e.g., right) rotates.
- The leader explains the importance of active listening without interruptions.
Instructions
- The leader announces a discussion question for pairs to talk about.
- Pairs walk and discuss the given question.
- After 2 minutes (or adjusted time based on engagement), the leader signals to switch partners.
- The stationary line stays in place, while the moving line steps forward to pair with the next person.
- The first student in the moving line moves to the back to join a new partner.
- Optional structured version:
- The leader assigns speaking roles (e.g., left side speaks first, right side listens).
- Two signals: The first signals a role switch, the second signals a partner switch.
- The process repeats with a new question.
Indoor variation
Students stand facing their partners in two lines, following the same rotation pattern as in the walking version.
