Activity You will receive a piece of paper. It is either blank or has a dot on it. There are fewer dots than blank papers. Secretly look at your paper. If you have a dot, do not reveal it to anyone. You are disqualified if you show your paper to anyone! Put the paper in your pocket. You must be able to produce the piece of paper at the end of the game to win!

Activity The goal of this activity is to form as large a group of “nondot” students as possible – the largest group without a “dot” member wins. The whole group will lose if there is a “dot” member in your group. If you suspect a classmate has a dot you should say “so-and-so is a dot!” “Dot” students can win points individually by being the only “dot” member in a group

Activity You will have 10 minutes to form your groups that exclude “dot” members. Move around the room to question each other. Those with dots should bluff to convince others they don’t have a dot. Do not show your paper to anyone until I tell you to.

Debriefing How did you feel when you discovered you had a blank piece of paper or a dot? What methods did you use to determine who had a dot? For those that had dots, how did you convince others you were not a “dot?” For those who were accused of having a “dot,” how did you feel? Given that there was no way to know for sure who was or was not a “dot,” why did you try so hard to convince others that certain class members were “dots?” What emotions fueled this activity?
