Party Roles
To play this game, you will need to come up with a list of appropriate behavior for different cultures. Items on your list might include maintain eye-contact, avoid eye-contact, make comments frequently to show that you are listening, get very close to the speaker, etc. Give all but one person in your class a role to play. Then have the one remaining person play the host of a party. The host will welcome each of your class members who will then role play their specific behavior. They will interact with the host and each other. At the end of activity, the host should make a guess at the specific behavior each person had to play. If possible, share with your students the cultures in which each behavior is considered appropriate.
