Ducklings
One person goes about their business across a room, a building or a city block while the others follow, narrating aloud what they see and what they take it to mean: 'Mama finds a source of water and drinks liberally with no concern for potability', 'Mama becomes introspective', 'Mama doesn't actually want to play with us.' Being witnessed and interpreted in real time, and practising interpretation, at once.
