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.
