17 MIRRORS Can you replicate the exact motions and movements your partner is doing? How faithful a mirror are you? Exploring role models and the fact that humans copy and imitate from life.
16 COAT-OF-ARMS Draw your personal coat-of-arms to show your talents and what you've got. An exercise of self discovery and group understanding.
15 MACHINES Invent your own machines which deliver real or imaginary products! You can be a cog-wheel, a piston, rotating wheel or the product-dispatcher! Great to discuss our part and responsibilities in our communities and society.
14 COMIC STRIP Create your own live, three dimensional, flesh and blood 3-frame comic strip! Strike a pose! Show your talent! Freeze like a ton of bricks! Another way to create the 'been there' attitude of the gospel readings. Our Comics!
13 PARTY PEOPLE Different people attend different parties, tailored to their tastes. An exercise highlighting how we judge stereotypes and our neighbours.
12 LAUREL AND HARDY Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy have once again come at loggerheads at each other over some trivialities. And as usual they started calling each other names... ...but what names! How colourful and descriptive! And all about their respective 'shapes'! Help your group members create spontaneous prayers of Praise.
11 DESERT SURVIVAL Your plane crash-lands in the middle of the desert. In summer. With the help of a few survivors and some salvaged items can you devise a plan to survive long enough until help arrives? Get ready to use all your wits in this life or death situation!
