During the game the students sit at five different tables which are separated from each other. They play a card game with the rules they received on a written sheet at the beginning. When the actual game starts no more verbal communication is allowed. The students have to find alternative ways of communication if they want to play together, such as gestures, facial expression or drawing pictures\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cabsolutely confusing\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\nWe will look at what happens when you go through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.interculturalpress.com\/store\/pc\/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=0&amp;idproduct=30\" target=\"_blank\">intercultural simulation<\/a> in practice.
