2. Remind the learners that in the activity,
they are free to do any movement, as long
as it is safe.
3. Learner A begins as the leader by making
movements (in silence) and then Learner
B follows (mirrors back) the movements.
The teacher can provide instructions
during this process (such as do fast
movements or do slow movements). The
process goes on for about 2 minutes.
4. The learners switch roles (A & B) and the
process repeats.
5. The teacher may invite the learners to
move without assigning who the leader
and the follower is -- the learners are
encouraged to attune to each other

6. On one sheet of paper, ask the learners to
imagine looking through the camera and to
draw a picture of a scene from the past in
which they were able to solve a problem
they encountered.
7. After they draw the scene, ask the
learners to add people or things that
helped them manage the problem or the
difficult situation.
8. Invite the learners to use their cameras to
view these scenes. They can use this time
to play with their cameras and view the
scenes of the other groups too.
9. Then, ask the group to have each member
share their picture and talk about it with
the rest of the group. Remind the class
that sharing is voluntary and that they
should create a safe space for each other.
10. After the round of sharing, ask the learners
that on their other sheet of paper, imagine
looking through the camera again and
draw a picture of a problem or challenging
situation they are currently facing. It may
be a challenge related to being back at
school or anything else they feel
comfortable enough representing in a
drawing. Then, invite the learners to use
their cameras to view these scenes.
11. Ask the group to share their pictures.

Tired Roots: What (or who) keeps you
stable and strong? These can be activities
you do in daily life or people important to
you. Trunk: What do you love about
yourself? What are the qualities you feel
proud of? These can be special talents
and character traits such as being a good
friend or taking care of others. Branches:
What are your hopes, dreams, and wishes
for the future? Leaves: What are some of
the ways that people have given you gifts
in your life? This is not about material gifts
or things, but rather about kindness and
support. Who has helped and supported
you, and who have you supported?
3. Once the learners have finished drawing
the entire tree, give additional time for
them to add finishing touches or any other
decorations they would like to include.
4. The next step is to hang all of the trees
together, or place them side-by-side in a
large circle, creating a Forest of Life.
5. Proceed with the sharing through the
discussion guide. Ask the learners to
come up to their work while they answer
the questions and show their classmates
their work.
