Resources: Role play negotiation case studies written out on cards (enough for one
case study for each pair)
a. Introduction: (5 mins) Yes! No! game
In pairs the students face each other. One can only say “yes!” and the other can only
say “no!”. Using only these words they have to persuade their friend to change their
word….by begging, shouting, cajoling.
Say, “Negotiating safer sex is very important to protect yourself from HIV/AIDS and
STIs and unplanned pregnancy. You can also negotiate to avoid other risks, like
drinking home brew. Try to make a decision that both of you can accept…”
• “Let’s do….instead”
• “I won’t do that, but maybe we could do…”
• “What would make both of us happy”
• “I don’t feel like doing that now, why don’t we….”
b. Main Activity: (30 mins)
Read the Jim and Elly role play from the Resource Book. Ask students in pairs to role
play what happens next. How can Elly persuade Jim to use a condom
Ask several pairs to demonstrate their role plays.
Q: How do good negotiators use their voices

Q: How do good negotiators use their body language
c. Conclusion: (25 mins)
Distribute these negotiation case studies among the groups. Ask them to role play
these and be prepared to show the role play to others showing negotiation
techniques. Participants should give each other positive and constructive feedback
on their body language and speech.
