SCREAMING MESSAGES

TYPE: Active

Divide the players into two teams, and each team into two parts.  Each part of a team stands in opposite corners (see diagram).  Each 1/2 team is given two messages to shout to its other half.  At the signal both teams begin to shout their messages.  The first team to relay all of its messages to the other half of its team wins.

Hint: Try to make up messages that have repetitive sounds (i.e. Mickey Mouse is a louse).

Goal:To emphasize the importance of self reliance in building up your own land and creating your own country as compared to the dependence on others which the Jews of the Old Yishuv (who primarily survived on donations from Chutz La'Aretz) represented.
