Class 108'15 used this activity during the session on Self-Love Play Bang! the normal way, except in this version, when you point your finger gun at someone, you have to say something nice to them on top of their name. There must be variation in the nice things being said.
When the last two standing face off, they have to say something nice that is at least 10 words long. Instructions for normal Bang!: 1. Y1s to stand in a circle 2. One person is selected to stand in the middle 3. The person standing in the middle of the circle points her finger gun at someone and says their name 4. The person whose name was said will have to crouch down as quickly as possible 5. The people on either side of the person in Step 4 will have to turn to each other, point their finger guns, and say the other person's name as quickly as possible 6. The person who says the other person's name faster is allowed to continue in the game, whilst the person who was slower will have to sit down, signifying that they are out of the game. 7. When the game is down to the last 2 people standing, they will stand back-to-back in the centre of the circle 8. They will take one step forward every time they hear a word being said. When they hear the cue word (told to them before their face-off), they will turn around and say each other's names as fast as possible. The faster person is the overall winner. Many classes used this activity during the session on Self-Love Construct a "magic box" which can be any kind of a box with a mirror placed to reflect the face of anyone who looks inside.
1. Ask the group, "Who do you think is the most special person in the whole world?" 2. After allowing the person to respond individually, continue: "I have a magic box with me today, and each of you will have a chance to look inside and discover the most important person in the world." 3. Ask the Year ones who they think they will see. 4. Give each person a chance to look into the box after you 5. Explain that the box is valuable because it shows that each of them is special. Note: Year Ones might ask how it is possible for everyone to be the special one. There can be a discussion about every individual’s uniqueness and that everyone is special in their own ways.

It shows the year 1s that each of them have special qualities, and remind them that they should be proud to be them. 1.

But reading the nice things people think of you really gives a nice boost to one’s self esteem." Used by 110'12 Classic during their session on Self-Respect. Instructions
Used by 110'12 Classic during their session on Self-Respect. Possible Scenarios:
#1- Not accepting well deserved compliments: After receiving praise from someone, girl goes ‘No la, it was nothing. I anyhow do one, I was just lucky’. #2- Comparing with others then feeling that they’re not good enough: Girl was very happy with her results, but after comparing with others, she didn’t feel good about herself anymore. #3- Placing all the blame on herself, when it’s not entirely her fault: When the response from the class on a group work is poor, girl blames herself for everything. #4- Doing something that she doesn’t like and even putting on a smile just to please/ not offend the other party: Girl A orders Girl B to run back to class to take her pen, when they are halfway eating. Girl B is tired and thinks to herself that she would rather not do it. But, Girl B still does it anyway just so she does not anger Girl A. Feel free to come up with more on your own!(: |
