지도

• Participants begin in a standing circle.
• Facilitator asks students, “What’s one thing you did today before you came to school?
• Popcorn a few ideas out: “Ate breakfast”,” Watched a video game”, “Brushed my teeth”.
• Facilitator chooses one of the ideas such as “Brushed my teeth.”
• Facilitator mimes brushing her teeth and asks the participants, “What am I doing?”
• Facilitator calls on a quiet hand. Student answers, “Brushing your teeth.”
• Facilitator asks students, “Can you think of other activities we might do or have seen someone else do such as brushing your hair or playing basketball?”
• Facilitator takes a few suggestions, then asks for a few volunteers to act out the suggestions. This time, the whole group on the count of 3 asks: “What are you doing?” to the volunteer. The volunteer then responds with what they are doing.
• Facilitator then asks, “Are you ready for the next challenge?”
• Participants say, “Yes!”
• Facilitator walks to the center of the circle and starts an activity such as skipping. They then ask for a volunteer to come into the circle and ask them , “What are you doing?”
• Volunteer enters the circle and asks, “What are you doing?”
• Facilitator instructs the volunteer that they must do what they says they’re is doing.
• Facilitator then replies with something other than what they are doing, such as “Petting my dog.”
• Volunteer acts out “Petting my dog.”
• Repeat with a new volunteer entering the circle.
• 반사:
  • What surprised you? 
  • Did you surprise yourself?
  • Which was more fun for you, doing the activity  or asking “What are you doing?”  Why?
  • How did it feel to express yourself without words?

지지대/적응 재료/도구

• This activity can be done in pairs and each pair does a couple of rounds of the game so the game is not as high focus. 
• Students can participate by offering suggestions of activities, but only if the participant asks for help. 
• Students who are less verbal or non-verbal can participate by striking a pose like a statue. 
• CTs and Paras can side coach throughout to support engagement
• Students can add sound effects to their activities, such as the sound of an airplane flying overhead, etc. 
• A classroom Teacher would be a great first volunteer or the first volunteer to go to the center of the circle and ask “What are you doing?
