Game: Outside the Circle

CHOOSING COMPASSION MODULE

Game Message:
Stigma and social rejection can destroy people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.  By experiencing stigma themselves, participants gain new insight and empathy for those living with HIV.

• Participants become aware of their own attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS.
• Participants experience stigma first hand.
• Participants re-think their attitudes about people living with HIV/AIDS.

How To Play:
1. Participants form a close and tight circle so that nobody can get into the middle.

2.  Ask two or three group members to be outside the circle and try to get back in.

3.  Note what the players who were excluded do and say.
