Background: Role-play is a type of simulation activity that allows students to be creative in the classroom. Early on, role-playing activities were used by political strategists and business training.
Guidelines A role-play needs to be set up carefully. If the class has never done one before, it is wise to start small and give the activity clear structure: It will take more time to set up than when the class has more experience with role-plays. Written roles for the players help students understand their character. Each student receives a copy of his/her role describing specifically what his/her âcharacterâsâ goals and intentions are, in order to behave accordingly. Each player sees only a description for his/her character. When first using role-play in a class, it is smart to involve everyone at first, so no one feels singled out. Instead of asking for volunteers, divide the whole class into trios, in which two in each group are players and the third is an observer. Give specific written guidelines for the observers.
