A step-by-step guide to play the game

Split the players into groups of two.

Provide each group with a picture, cardboard, paper, pen, scissors, and glue.

Encourage the players to examine the picture and answer questions related to it:

Who is in the picture?
What is happening in the picture?
Where is the scene taking place?
When did the scene occur?
How did the scene happen?

Have the players glue the picture onto the cardboard and let them create speech bubbles from the paper for the characters in the picture to speak, and write down what they are saying.

Instruct the groups to display their cardboards on the wall. Ask the players to view all the pictures and read their speech bubbles.

Afterward, reflect on the activity:

How challenging was it to answer the questions about the pictures?
Was it difficult to write the speech bubbles?
Did you find any differences between your analysis of the picture and the analysis of the other group?
Did you observe any stereotypes in the pictures and speech bubbles?
