TEAM BUILDING

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITY:

In this second activity, students will have to put themselves in the shoes of other people to experience different situations.

Through this group activity, based on a role-play, students will work on empathy and active listening.

Grouped into teams, they will have two cards drawn at random: one with the description of a situation, and another with the description of the character (with or without a disability) who is affected by that situation, being the protagonist of it.

Each card has a series of reflective questions: by matching character and situation, the team will have to put themselves in the character's shoes, answer the questions and agree on a solution based on empathy and respect, to avoid the case of unwanted loneliness.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

• Reflect on social situations to make empathetic decisions that are consistent with the situation, based on active listening and respect for others.
• Promote empathy for classmates.

ACTIVITY DURATION:

15 minutes.

GUIDELINES FOR PERFORMANCE:

1. Organize teams of 3-5 students, and randomly distribute a situation card and a character card.
2. In turns, each member of the team must answer the questions posed on each card, first empathizing with the character and putting themselves in their place, and then responding personally.
3. Each team, after the round of reflective questions, must reach a solution that allows the character to avoid an unwanted situation of loneliness.
4. Share the group to agree on the attitudes that the class group should have if they encounter similar situations at school.
