Step-by-Step Instructions

This strength-finding exercise blends exploration and personal sharing to foster meaningful connections. Encanto begins with fun hypothetical discussions before shifting to a playful navigation challenge that physically connects participants. The activity culminates in a powerful moment where individuals share their real-life strengths, creating a symbolic meeting place that can become a touchpoint for future interactions.

Encanto – Strength-Finding Exercise
  1. Form pairs.
  2. Invite each person to share their ideal superpower with their partner.
  3. When ready, ask each person to identify a secret location or position within the room or playing space you are situated as their own.
  4. Instruct one person at a time to verbally guide their partner to walk to their secret location by playing a game of “getting cooler/warmer” prompts.
  5. Once both secret locations have been discovered, invite each pair to identify a spot that is positioned (and accessible) between these two locations.
  6. Meeting at this spot, conclude by asking each person to share one of their strengths in real life, ie their candle.
  7. Invite all pairs to consider using this familiar spot to meet and connect at other useful times during your program.
