Game: Don't Trust Your Eyes

FACTS ABOUT HIV MODULE

Game Message:
The object represents the HIV virus.  It can be caught by anybody, and you cannot tell if somebody is HIV positive just by looking at them.  HIV positive individuals can look and feel completely healthy.

• Just because you can’t see the ball does not mean it is not there;
• Just because you can’t see HIV/AIDS does not mean its not there.

How To Play:
1. Divide participants into two equal teams.  Teams line up shoulder to shoulder, facing one another across a five-metre space.  Explain the rules of the game to them.

2. The first team will pass a small object behind their backs, while the second team claps and counts to 10.

3. When the second team gets to 10, the other team must stop passing the object.  The second team has three guesses (three different players should guess) which player on the other team has the object.  If they guess right, they get one point.  If they guess wrong, the passing team gets one point. 

4. It is then the second team’s turn to pass the object, and the game is repeated.  The first team that reaches five points wins the game.
