SEL / Life Skill ________________
Materials: Tarp or blanket
Setting: Open space
Say: “Today we are practicing __________ during this game. So look at each other and think how you would describe them.”
Instructions: This activity works after groups get to know each other. Divide the group in half. Two people will hold a tarp or blanket up between the two teams. Both teams hide behind the tarp and choose one person to be placed with his/her back to the tarp facing the rest of the team. When ready, the tarp is dropped. The teams goal will be to describe to their person who the person behind them is, without saying a name and being nice. The person who first calls out the name of the person behind them wins that person to their team. Repeat. You may add rules to make harder such as no gender words.
