Assembly - Celebrity Juice, Chinese Whispers and Gossip in Schools

This assembly is based around the rumour mill that exists in schools. The first part of the assembly is an imitation of a game on celebrity juice. It requires 3 members of staff to be stood in line with ear phones in and their music on full volume. Behind the staff are three extracts from celeb gossip mags. The idea is for you to read out one piece of gossip and then for the staff to pass this down the line. The message will get lost through the loud music and lip reading. This is repeated 3 times.

I then show a picture of a puppeteer and explain how people can twist information to create a situation for their own benefit and that unless a person has heard or seen something for them self to not always believe it.
