Deep Reflection & Vulnerability: These activities need a lot of dedication or openness. They might include tough competition, trust-building exercises, or situations where people face real fears, like heights or failing in front of others. While these games can lead to personal growth, they must be guided carefully to keep everyone safe and emotionally supported.
Focus: Activities that require deeper trust, vulnerability, and facilitation skills.
Example Activities:
Trust-Building Exercises (e.g., blindfolded navigation with a partner)
Personal Story Sharing (Discussing meaningful life experiences)
Community Circles (Students and teachers share thoughts in a supportive setting)
Facing Fears Activities (Exploring emotions around failure, risk-taking, or new experiences)
Support Needed: Guidelines for emotional safety, debriefing strategies, and facilitation tips.
