A tine minte...
This activity can be done before a group reflection in order to let everyone take their time to reflect before they share with others.
The activity benefits self-development, self-awareness, communication, critical thinking, goal-setting, adaptability and is a good tool for outdoor education.
With a modification this activity could also work for children.
Challenges with this activity could be that the students are disturbing each other, that they can't concentrate or have the motivation to do it. In order to prevent this, make sure the activity is explained well and that the location for the activity fits the group.
