Body Self-Portrait
Closing activity in which partners trace each other's body outline on large paper and mark the body parts they worked most.
How to play
- One student lies on butcher paper while the partner traces the outline.
- Each student colors the body parts they worked most during the lesson.
- They add words: how they felt and what they liked.
- Short group share.
Rules
- Respect classmates' drawings.
- Supplies are put away at the end.
Variations
Easier
Only color body parts.
Standard
Body parts plus words.
Harder
Use different colors for strength, endurance or flexibility.
Adaptations
- Limited mobility: trace the outline standing against the wall.
- Students who don't want to lie down: use a template outline.
Learning goals
- Build body awareness.
- Reflect on what was worked on.
