No-Prep Media Literacy Activity

The Rumor Mill — Single Sheet

A message read once, hidden, and rebuilt from memory six times over. Nobody copies, so the distortion is real — and instructions fall apart far faster than feelings do.

• One fold-and-pass sheet per group
• Teacher's quick guide
• Alternate message on sheet 3
• Rules printed at every fold
• Black & white copier-safe
