Review the handout with students or have students work in cooperative groups. The map can be reproduced as a transparency or taped to the board. Have students connect two paper cups with approximately 5 feet of string that has been waxed by running a candle over it. Punch a small hole in the bottom of each cup. Run the string through the bottom of each cup, being certain to knot the string so that it does not slip through.
Students sit in a circle.
One student turns to the student on their right and delivers a message. Each student repeats the message to the student on their right in order. Once the message has gone around the circle, have the last student repeat the message and compare with the original message.
