This video introduces participants to role-play games and provides an example of how the activity can be implemented in a group setting. It serves as inspiration for participants organising role-playing scenarios. The video focuses on scenarios where participants give feedback on social behaviour, explore communication techniques, or show genuine interest in one another.

Role-play games are highly effective for improving socio-emotional skills and enhancing communication, empathy, and conflict resolution. In a role-play setting, participants take on different perspectives, practising active listening and effective verbal and non-verbal communication in realistic, emotionally engaging scenarios. For older adults who may struggle with verbal communication or emotional regulation, role-play offers a structured space to practise these skills. This activity allows participants to explore and better understand others’ emotions and responses, promoting empathy and emotional intelligence.
