Perspective‑Shifting Activities

These quick, low‑prep exercises help participants grasp how easily perceptions differ and why acknowledging multiple viewpoints is essential in communication and conflict resolution.

Activity 1: What Do You See? (6 vs 9)

Objective: Demonstrate how the same information can be interpreted differently based on position.

Time:

10 minutes

Materials:

  • Large “6” printed on A4 paper

Steps:

  1. Place the paper on the floor.
  2. Split the group in half—each half stands on opposite sides.
  3. Ask both sides what number they see.
  4. Facilitate a discussion on how both answers can be correct.

Debrief Questions:

  • How does this relate to workplace disagreements?
  • What can we do to understand another person’s view before reacting?

Activity 2: Duck or Rabbit? Ambiguous Image

Objective: Highlight how prior experience and focus change perception.

Time:

10 minutes

Materials:

  • Projector or printouts of the classic duck‑rabbit illusion (or any ambiguous image)

Steps:

  1. Show the image for 5 seconds, ask participants to jot down what they saw—no talking.
  2. Reveal that some people saw a duck, some a rabbit. Show how slight shifts in focus reveal both.
  3. Invite discussion on how assumptions shape conclusions.

Debrief Questions:

  • What influenced your first impression?
  • How can we remind ourselves that our view might be incomplete?

Activity 3: Two Truths, One Scene

Objective: Show that multiple, accurate descriptions of the same event can differ based on focus.

Time:

15 minutes

Materials:

  • A single image with multiple focal points (e.g., busy street scene or office photo) shown on screen

Steps:

  1. Display the image for 30 seconds. Ask half the group to focus on people, the other half on objects.
  2. Hide the image and have each subgroup list what they noticed.
  3. Compare lists—show how different but valid details emerge.

Debrief Questions:

  • Why did each group miss certain details?
  • How does selective attention play into conflicts and misunderstandings?
