Romance High Jinx Workshop Outline Activity Summary: Quick games to get everyone comfortable with the group and discussion. People To People Purpose: An exercise in self awareness and to find out more about our own personal boundaries. Directions: Tell them to pair up, and it doesn’t matter who with because they’ll be changing in a minute anyways. Explain it’s a game about connecting body parts. If there’s panic, don’t worry because I’ll only call body parts that we all have. Call out two body parts to connect ie. fingertip to earlobe. Give a couple more body parts to connect and then say “In this position, I want you to find out your partner’s name and ask one of the below questions?” When that’s done yell, “people to people,” which is the sign to find new partners. Do 5 or so times or before they look bored. Questions to ask: Tell them your name and… A favorite TV show. If you have a pet and what kind. A favorite hobby of yours. A favorite sport you do or wish you did. A favorite food. If you had to listen to a CD for a year, what would it be? A favorite movie. Observations to make: Did you get a sense of your boundaries? Some positions may have been easier and more comfortable than others? You may have not done some of the positions, which is ok. Who did you pick as your partner? Someone you knew and were comfortable with, or someone you didn’t know well? I’m Glad I’m Here Purpose: Another exercise in self awareness and to put things into perspective. Directions: Explain we all have places we’d rather be right now – for instance, on a beach in Hawaii – but what about the places we’d rather NOT be? Begin by saying, “I’m glad I’m here because at LEAST I’M NOT…” in the dentist’s chair, for example. Go around the room listening to others and taking turns as each person goes. |
