Get people sitting in groups of 5. Ask them to choose who will be A,B,C,D and E 

A will tell a short, true, personal story

B will listen for the story in three sentences C will listen for the essence of the story

D will listen for a metaphor or image

E will listen for what’s not said 

A tells their story then each of the others takes turns to respond according to their listening task 

Do one round then swap roles and do another round – try and have time for everyone to play each role 

Ask the group to listen to the storyteller without interruption
