Mirror Me

Space
Directions

Explain that the group is going to imagine that the leader is looking into a mirror. The students (as a group) will collectively be the leader’s reflection in the mirror. The leader sits on a stool in view of all class members and begins to slowly enact a simple activity in slow motion while the students mirror the leader. Move to more complex activities, stories, or ideas as students become used to mirroring the leader. Note: This activity can be used to illustrate the focus of the lesson (i.e. point of view, ways of persuading, etc.)

Reflection

Describe: What was the situation you were mirroring?

Analyze: What did you notice about yourself  as you were playing?

Relate: What skills are necessary to do this activity successfully?

Possible Variations/Applications

Ask for a student volunteer to be the leader.
