Introduction

This task should teach students awareness of your surroundings and the people around you.

Target group and Time

This exercise works best with a larger group of students preferably 10 to 20. It can be done inside and outside in a preset area. It makes for a good warm up, taking 10 to 12 minutes.

Learning objectives

The students should become aware of their surroundings and other students while moving around trying not to bump into each other while expressing themselves physically. Ideally this is a way of teaching them about self-awareness and the way we have to look out for one another even while being mainly focused on our own thoughts

Introduction to set up the activity

The teachers should tell the students to think about their favourite superhero or a superpower they want to have. After that they shoudl  think about a pose and a way that superhero moves around. Now the teacher can ask the students to move through the room like your superhero would, try to use all the space.  When the teacher says STOPthe atudenst are asked to strike the pose of their superhero and try not to bump into each other. Before adding the new factor let them try this first a few times. Then the teacher can add different speeds to the little exercise, where 10 is really, really fast and one is veeeery slow. Now the instructor  can ask the learners to move around in the speed he/her is calling out in addition to the tasks we had before. At the end they move in different speeds the way their superhero would. Other factors like calling out  the names of the heroes can be added as well depending on how much time there is.
