Materials

    Instructions

    In pairs
    A initiates with "It's Tuesday"
    B responds emotionally, dramatically, immediately and then justifies their emotions
    Note - can be played with cards that give the emotion or just coming up with emotion

    B calms down and then gives A a neutral line
    A responds with dramatic emotion to the line

    Note: Classic version has the scenes be unrelated. It seems natural that people gravitate toward a cohesive narrative.
