Fishbowl (conversation)

A fishbowl conversation is kind of like when you have a bunch of people sitting in a circle and talking. But instead of everyone being able to talk whenever they want, only a few people are allowed to talk at a time. They sit in the middle of the circle and have their own special little area, like a fishbowl. Everyone else listens while they talk. Then, after a little while, the people in the fishbowl switch with some new people who haven't had a turn yet. This keeps going until everyone who wants to talk gets a turn. This is a really cool way to have a conversation because everyone gets a chance to share their ideas and opinions without someone else interrupting them or talking over them. And it also helps us learn to listen respectfully to others when they are talking.
