Give each child a pencil and paper and have them sit in a row or in
different parts of the room equally distant from the spot selected for
the "operator."
Make a list of words; later on short sentences can be used; have the
operator take these and sit about twelve feet from the children. Let
the operator whisper "Hello," just loud enough for the children to
hear distinctly. The children can raise their hands when they "get the
connection," or hear the "Hello," but should not be allowed to speak
during the game.
The operator will then whisper the words in the list slowly, using the
same volume of sound as in the "Hello," giving time between words for
each child to write them. At the conclusion correct the lists, each
child being scored for the number of words heard correctly. During this
game all instructions should be given in whisper, and perfect quiet
maintained among the children.
