Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lay a large sheet of paper (approx 200cm x 80cm) on the floor/ground.
- Gather your group around the outside edges of the paper.
- Draw the outline of a large fictitious person on the paper, eg head, torso, limbs, etc.
- Instruct each person to grab a marker and write on the inside of the outline (body) behaviours or qualities that are safe and respectful of self, others and the group, eg trust one another, cooperate, be on time, etc.
- Invite several volunteers to share what they wrote and why in the context of the task.
- When ready, instruct each person to write on the outside of the outline behaviours or qualities that would damage or limit the group’s ability to achieve those attributes listed inside the body.
- Invite volunteers to share what they wrote and why with the rest of the group.
- If desired, seek consensus or some form of agreement from your group about the commitments written on the inside of the being.
- Display this ‘being’ in a prominent position so that your group can view it and refer to it easily.
- Reflect on the ‘being’ and your group’s discussion throughout your program.
