There is a game show called "Family Feud" which aired for a while in Spanish as "Que dice la gente". You can check out the rules on wikipedia, but the basic premise is that surveys are conducted with people on the street with such questions as "what kind of kitchen spill is the most difficult to clean?" or "what personal care products are most commonly found in a bathroom?" and contestants need to guess the most popular answer.
The show strikes me as being the absolute antithesis of creativity because the point is to guess what most people think.
However, in considering dating violence or domestic abuse or any other kind of intimate agression, what struck me most was that it exists in abolute secrecy. It's a documented fact that one of the first things an abuser will do is isolate the victim or swear her to secrecy through guilt, insults, fear or any other means.
This game format works to raise awareness of what can be considered appropraite dating behaviour. The idea is the students come up with the survey. Since this game is planned for English language leanrers, the idea would be to come up with binary questions (yes/no, good/bad, etc.) and administer the survey to other, higher or lower level groups. Then the game can be played, if possible with the respondents of the surveys as audience.
