This is an interesting game where the students form groups and perform skits. In this game, the instructor gives the students some disorders to learn and gives them a specific time frame to learn everything they can about these disorders. On a scheduled date, the instructor asks a group of students to act out a real-life situation where people are suffering with some of the psychological disorders. For example, the instructor may ask the students to portray a family meeting with each member of the family displaying the symptoms of one of the disorders. Then, the other students are asked to name the disorder, then the class discusses the disorder. This game helps to understand the disorder from day-to-day symptoms displayed by people, which leads to a better understanding of it.
