On a blank piece of paper, all participants must write, so that their handwriting is not identifiable, some difficulty you encounter in interpersonal relationships and that you would not like to expose orally in any environment semi-public.
The next step is for the dynamics coordinator to collect the papers delivered and mix them up. With a draw, the roles are picked up by the participants in the dynamic, who take the problems written there as their own.
The idea is to make suggestions for solutions and not promote debates or questions. The dynamics leader should propose questions such as: “Did the other understand your problem?”; “How did you feel when you saw the problem described?”; “Do you understand the other person's problem?”; and “How did you feel about the group?”.
In this way, it is easier to put yourself in the other's shoes and, thus, understand their behavior and feelings, which is essential to develop the necessary empathy for group coexistence.
In a spacious place, make a circle with all participants, with crayons and sheets of paper in the center. The dynamics instructor should guide everyone to express in a color the feeling/emotion they are feeling at that moment.
Once that's done, everyone should show their paper and explain what that color represents. If it is something negative, all other colleagues should offer a positive emotion to the other – through a color that conveys a good feeling.
For example, if someone chose the color black because they were feeling bad, someone else could offer them the yellow color that reflects happiness.
The idea is for all participants to feel free to share their feelings, in order to receive support from their colleagues. In addition, a feeling of empathy starts to exist due to the knowledge about the life of colleagues, which is very important for teamwork.
For this dynamic you will need a pen and paper. On this paper, each person should write about themselves, name, age, marital status, profession, hobby, areas of interest.
After everyone has written, the facilitator collects all the sheets and redistributes so that all participants receive another participant's sheet.
Thus, each participant has to imagine where he will be in 5 years from today according to the information put on the paper.
In addition to putting yourself in the other's shoes, this dynamic provides the best knowledge about your colleagues, not to mention that it's super fun due to creativity
of the participants!
