Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lay a large sheet of paper (approx 1m x 1m) on a tabletop or floor.
- Gather your group around the outside edges of the paper.
- Instruct each person to draw the outline of one of their hands with a marker on the paper.
- If required, demonstrate first by drawing the outline of your hand on the paper.
- Request that as each person marks the outline of their hand that it overlaps (intersects) slightly with the outline of another handprint.
- Challenge your group to ensure that every handprint is visually connected to the handprints of the entire group, ie no islands.
- When ready, ask each person to write on the inside of their handprint a goal that they would like to achieve and then add their name.
- Invite several volunteers to share what they wrote and why in the context of your framing.
- Display this sheet of handprints in a prominent position so that your group can view it and refer to it easily.
- Reflect on the collection of individual goals and your group’s discussion throughout your program.
