Dialogue : Voices

This is a worksheet version of Who Do You Think You Are?, in which players make more of the choices. Younger players can leave out parts.

All players should choose a Where. Younger players should then choose between M and F for gender, go on to deciding on the character and fill in from Seeing onwards.

Older players should choose Work and Relationship, but could leave out Education. They then ring one of the vertical columns of two numbers and a letter in the grid at the top of the sheet. The numbers represent the age and can be read either way (eg. 45 or 54). The letter gives gender - y for female, a for male. They then move to decide on character and fill in from Seeing onwards.

However much of the sheet is used, when the players have filled in the basic boxes they should have created enough information to begin to make the poem.
