Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Invite your group to look at the ceiling directly above them and imagine the face of a clock.
  2. Instruct each person to extend their pointer finger (palm facing to them) towards the 12 o’clock position.
  3. Ask them to move their finger slowly in a clockwise direction around the clock face to form a large circle above their head.
  4. Continue to move their finger clockwise while slowly lowering their hand (and rotating in the same horizontal plane) below the height of their shoulders.
  5. Keep rotating one’s finger several more times.
  6. Ask your group to observe the direction of their movements, ie the finger will now be moving anti-clockwise.
  7. Repeat the exercise two more times.
  8. Invite your group to reflect on why the direction of their rotating fingers changed.
