ACTIVITY
Look Down, Look Up!
Size: 10 - 12 students are ideal
Time: 5 - 7 mins
Students stand in a circle facing inwards. Students stare at a small object placed on the floor in the centre of the circle. The leader will say, “Look Up.” Everyone will quickly look up and look directly at someone in the circle. If another person in the circle is also looking at them - both participants are eliminated! If the person they are looking at is looking at someone else, they are safe. When the leader says, “Look Down,” all participants look back at the ground. Repeat until there is a winning pair.
Application
Often, we go about our business not thinking about others and not looking them in the eyes when we are talking to them. We also have times in our lives when we know that if we look someone in the eye we will have to slow down and focus on that person for a while. It takes bravery to be vulnerable and share a stare.
