An instructional strategy used to explore character. Chairs are arranged in rows as in a bus, and students sit in the chairs. The traveller, who sits in the last chair (back left), portrays a character (e.g., obnoxious tourist, mother with a child). Everyone else on the bus imitates the traveller's behaviour and speech. After a set length of time (e.g., one minute), all the passengers move one seat around, and the new traveller portrays a different character.
