Description

One participant represents the “face” and the other the “mirror image“. The “face” thinks strongly about a particular emotional experience, showing his/her feeling with facial and body expression. The “mirror” child reproduces like the mirror the facial and body expressions of the first child. It recognises the emotional state of the “face” child and tries to guess where it came from. We allow the “mirror” child five guesses. After each attempt we give a helping clue, such as: “Yes, it has to do with family” or “No, it has to do with school.” We make sure that we have explained to the children that they can only share personal experiences, feelings, and thoughts without revealing the experiences of other participants who may want to keep private their own experiences.
