A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Divide the group of duty-bearers into two (or more) subgroups.

2

Give both groups five minutes to look at the poster and have them list as many duty-bearers as possible depicted in the image.

3

After five minutes, have one group name a duty-bearer they found in the image. If the other group listed the same duty-bearer, both groups remove this duty-bearer from their list. Attention point: make sure that the duty-bearers can explain why they listed a person as a duty-bearer!

4

Now, the other group can name one of the duty-bearer listed. Again, if both groups listed this duty-bearer, they remove them both from their list. Let the groups continue until all listed duty-bearers are named.

5

The group who listed the most unique duty-bearers, wins!

6

Time left? Play the same game with the different responsibilities /duties of the duty-bearers in the picture. Have the duty-bearers look at the poster again for five (or more if necessary) minutes and have them list as many responsibilities as possible. The group who listed the most unique duties, wins!
