- Put the following instructions (and items if need be) in an envelope.
- Break your group into smaller groups of 3 or 4.
- Hand each small group an envelope.
- Explain to them that they must follow the instructions given them. Their goal is to imagine that they are doing this for someone they love.
- If you have more than 4 groups simply duplicate the envelopes. It will not matter if 2 groups have the same instructions.
- When everyone gets back or is finished with their instructions, debrief about their experiences. What did they feel when they read their instructions? How did they go about doing their "project?" How did that feel?
