What can students learn from this?

Students come out of their shell grow and shine, reinforcing themselves while structuring higher self-esteem based on doing real and worthwhile things. They stimulate imagination and creativity and a better understanding of one’s strengths.

How can I do this in class?

Improvisation game

The teacher asks the students to spread out around the classroom and show them what the magic rock position is . He/she sits on the floor curled up like a ball.

Step 1: when everyone is ready, the teacher announces an imaginary space where the rock is in or call out a character like an animal, profession, famous people;

Step 2: the students will then act out the suggestion like a baby, a dog, a ballerina….

Step 3: the teacher continues to call out different characters interspersed with magic rock as a way to get them reset take.

Reflection tips

Self-awareness can make students more productive in the classroom and at home: better communication with teachers and peers, more confidence, and more satisfaction with performance can all lead to happier students.
