Make it yourself

Step 1

Make the disk

Take a disc or round piece of carton (paper). Divide the disk into 8 equal parts. Give each part a different colour (linked to a separate task) and attach tape to each part. Write a platform of social media on the tape. Attach something you can spin in the middle (bottle, fork, arrow...).

Good job!

A step-by-step guide to play the game

Gather the players in front of the social media pie disk and ask them a couple of opening questions:

What are your favorite online platforms?
How much time do you spend on them? (daily, weekly ...)
How much money do you spend on them?

After the opening questions, ask a player to spin the wheel. The arrow lands on a coloured part of the circle. Now the player needs to describe, draw or act out an advantage or disadvantage linked to this type of social media.

The game can continue till all the social media are covered a couple of times, so that different advantages and disadvantages are discussed with the group.
