A similar activity, "Diagrams," is available in Links. Materials for this version of the activity include six pieces of letter-sized paper for each team/pair and a writing utensil for each person. 

In her class on stage-based pedagogy at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication, Dr. Janet Bennett recommended this activity as good for those who are in the stage of Defense on the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS).
