The Listening Game

Game instructions

  • Only listening allowed
  • One-word answers are NOT encouraged. Go deeper. Explain why.
  • No probing questions during speaking
  • Listeners, try to not nod or shake heads or say “I couldn’t agree more” or “ Me too!”, etc
  • Each question gets answered only once. There’s no “How ‘bout you? This frees everyone up to listen, not formulate their answers.
  • Bonus idea: everybody blindfolded for one round. No visuals. Only listening. (Or just close eyes).
