A step-by-step guide to play the game

Gather the players in a large room/outside and have them line up in two lines of equal length, facing each other (cf. parallel lines).

The person at the end of both lines is the speaker. The speaker projects his voice as loud as he can - and says any message about himself.

When the people in the lines can clearly hear this person's message, they raise their hand.

The speaker's goal is to get to the end. Play on by turning the persons in line so that there is a new speaker.

Continue until everyone who wants to has their turn.

Extra game information

Let the players extend their lines as long as you like.
At different times, have the players try to reach their voice as far as possible. Coach them on body posture, grounding or other resources they can draw from to increase their vocal range.

This game is part of the 'All Children, All Right(s)!' toolkit, which focuses on promoting the right to participation.
