As reporters on the ground you supply editors at HQ with tomorrow’s lead story - Earthquake! Test verbal clarity, listening skills and report writing with this exciting simulation of an ever-changing situation. Just like the office!

Two teams (apart from each other) receive information about an earthquake via two channels; a CD supplying different, regular updates to each team (two audio CD players required) and intercoms constantly buzzing between the teams.

Accurate communication is vital. As well teams need to be organised, focused on the objective and keep up with an ever-changing situation. They will consider all the data, filter out irrelevant and unreliable stories and at the end present a clear, concise, accurate report.

Teams enjoy pointing out discrepancies in each others’ reports and comparing them against a definitive checklist supplied in the pack. Lots of learning points about the importance of good communication are unequivocally demonstrated.
