How to Fill Out Barrier Games:

1. Start by gathering the necessary materials for barrier games, such as a barrier or divider (e.g., a sheet of cardboard or a folder), paper, pens/pencils, and a stopwatch or timer.
2. Decide on the rules and objectives of the game. For example, barrier games can be used to practice listening and communication skills, so you might set a goal for players to accurately describe or recreate a given picture or scene without showing it to each other.
3. Divide participants into pairs or small groups. Each group should have their own set of materials.
4. Set up the barrier between the players so they cannot see each other's work or communicate directly. The barrier should be placed in a way that allows each participant to have a clear view of their own work.
5. Provide each player with identical materials, such as paper and pens/pencils.
6. Once everything is set up, explain the objective of the game to the participants. Make sure they understand the rules and any time limits that may be involved.
7. Start the game by giving each player or group a picture or scene to describe or recreate. This can be a printed image or a verbal description.
8. Participants should take turns describing or recreating the picture or scene without direct visual or verbal contact with their partner. They can only communicate through spoken instructions or drawings.
9. Set a time limit for completing the task. This will add an element of challenge and encourage participants to work efficiently.
10. After the time limit is up, remove the barrier and compare the original picture or scene with the participants' descriptions or recreations.
11. Review and discuss the results as a group, highlighting successful communication strategies and areas that may need improvement.
