**Teacher’s instructions **

a) Give out the Reading Sheet: Interactionist Approach to Schizophrenia to each student. Allocate enough time for students to read this. Students must concentrate carefully on the information as there will be questions set on this.

b) Each group will need to have a set of questions cards. They will need to be cut out. There are 24 questions set. See Sheet: Question Cards.

c) Students need to be put into group and sat at a table with its pack of question cards in the middle, face down. Each person is allocated a number from 1 to 6. The students work in groups of six, however if numbers don’t allow for 6 have smaller groups with void numbers on the die (i.e. in a group of 4, if number 5 and 6 comes up, the die would have to be rolled again.

d) The group decided who goes first. The first player rolls the die and the person with the number shown picks up the first card and responds to the question. The questions are then taken out of the pack or placed back in the pack at the bottom. The second player throws the die. The person with the number shown picks up the card and responds so forth until it takes to get through the entire cards. The question can be set alphabetically or can be shuffled and answered in no particular order.

e) Scoring is optional. If the group feels the answer is correct, the play gets a point. If it is a wrong answer they score no points. The winner is the one who scores the most points
