If someone makes a mistake, reset and again the fly is in the center. You can enter penalty points for mistakes for the competitive element.

Try to get as much diverse information about your partner as possible. I would like you to reflect the following important questions in your self-presentation:

• what I can do best.

After this there is work in pairs. After 10 min. The presenter gives additional instructions: “The presentations will take place as follows: one of the pair members sits on a chair, the second stands behind him, putting his hands on the first’s shoulders. The person standing will speak on behalf of the person sitting, calling himself by the name of his partner. Within one minute, no more and no less! In exactly a minute I will interrupt the monologue; If someone finishes early, we will remain silent until the allotted minute for speaking has expired. so your task is to structure your presentation so that it lasts exactly 60 seconds. After this, any member of the group - including myself - has the right to ask the speaker any questions, which he must also answer on behalf of the person sitting. It is clear that you may not know the true answer to the question asked, so you need to understand, feel how your partner would answer.”

The questions that the group members and the presenter ask the speaker begin by addressing him by the in-game name of the person being presented, and can relate to a variety of topics, for example:

• What qualities do you value most in people?
• What do you find most disgusting?
• Is there a person who has had a strong influence on your life? Who is he?
• What is your deepest wish?
• What would you like to achieve in life? and so on.

Discussion. Pay attention to the ability to take into account the timing of the presentation; the ability to correctly and concisely convey the information received from a partner about him and the ability to “feel” into another person enough to guess the missing information. The following questions can be used:

• How did you feel when your partner failed to meet the allotted time (got silent before the minute was up)?
• Did your partner manage to correctly present information about you?
• Did your partner manage to become your double?
• Did he correctly guess the answers he gave on your behalf?

Exercise “I am you. You are me"

Target: Awareness of one's own identity.

Stages of the game: Training participants are divided into pairs and tell each other about everything they consider necessary for a certain period of time. Partners can ask each other any questions. After communicating in pairs, the participants introduce each other, mutually exchanging roles.

Discussion of the game:

• What is easier to do: tell about yourself or about others?
• How did you feel when you introduced your partner?
• How did you feel when your partner introduced you?
• In what cases do we feel shy and in what cases do we feel confident?

Exercise “Our group”

Target: Formation of a team.

This is a rather unusual exercise, more like a ritual. The participants should already know each other, but the exercise will help deepen the acquaintance. In addition, it can help to take a fresh look at internal relationships in the group, feel the energy, and mark new topics and tasks for further work. It is best if the group is not too large - about 8-10 people.

Stages of work:

1. The group is conveniently located in a circle. Start by getting ready to work. It is necessary to once again state the purpose of our training.
2. Each participant says their name and the rest of the group repeats it.
3. Now everyone closes their eyes. The participants again say their names, the rest also repeat it; what is added is that each member of the group accompanies the repetition of the next name with some movement, which in his understanding corresponds to the owner of the name, personifies him.
4. Next comes the third round. Again, everyone takes turns saying their names. But this time the group no longer repeats the names out loud, but everyone tries to draw a mental picture of how the speaker’s energy of tolerance seems to him personally. The one who saw this picture describes it out loud. For example: “Brown bear, stream in the mountains, coolness, etc.” Allow enough time for this stage. The next name and, accordingly, the following pictures are called only when the description of the previous one is completely completed.
5. After the energy of tolerance of all group members has been characterized, participants should concentrate on the “center” of the group and try to imagine the interaction of all personal energies: how they relate to each other, how they look, how they move. Each participant describes what he “sees.” In this way, a general picture is gradually formed that reflects the joint energy of tolerance of the group and its action. Emphasize that all pictures should be described, not only those that are beautiful and pleasant to others. After all, it is possible that someone will “see” negative traits, but this is also very valuable.
6. It will take you a lot of time to create this big picture of the group. Sometimes it happens that a group discovers its common symbol, task, goal, or takes an imaginary journey into the future. If the participants decide that the image of the group has been created, the exercise can be completed. Everyone takes three deep breaths, stretches and opens their eyes. Now we can discuss the resulting image and its significance for further work.

Exercise “Learning to appreciate individuality”

Target: learn to appreciate the individuality of another.

Time spending: 60 min.

Stages of the game:

If we knew how to value our own individuality, it would be easier for us to accept our partner’s otherness.

Group members sit in a circle, each with paper and a pencil.

1. At the beginning of the game, say something like this: “We often want to be exactly the same as others, and we suffer from feeling that we are different from others. Sometimes it’s really good when we are like everyone else, but our individuality is no less important. It can and should be appreciated.”
2. Invite each player to write about three characteristics that distinguish him from all other members of the group. This could be a recognition of one’s obvious merits or talents, life principles, etc. In any case, the information should be positive.
3. Give three examples from your own life so that participants fully understand what is required of them. Use your imagination and sense of humor to create a gaming atmosphere.
4. Participants write down their names and complete the task (3 minutes). Warn that you will collect the notes and read them out, and group members will guess who is the author of certain statements.
5. Collect the pieces of paper and once again note the positive aspects of the fact that people are different from each other: we become interesting to each other, we can find a non-standard solution to a problem, give each other impulses to change and learn, etc. Then read each text and have the players guess who wrote it. If the author cannot be “identified,” he must identify himself.

Exercise "Petals"

Target: This is an excellent exercise that promotes relaxation and increases self-confidence. In addition, everyone can gain a lot of personal impressions from other group members.

Materials: Prepared forms for each participant (with empty petals) and a large sheet of Whatman paper depicting a flower with filled petals.

Stages of work: Participants make notes on their forms on the topics indicated in the sample. They work in silence. After ten minutes, you can walk around the room, show others your “flower” and talk about what is written in each petal. Make sure that the participants do not linger and after 2-3 minutes move on to the next partner. After everyone has talked to everyone else, there is a short exchange of opinions in a circle.

Petals:
