Description:
As an introduction program with new college freshman girls, I wanted
to encourage individuality and personal uniqueness from the start.
Each resident was given a piece of Styrofoam poster board to trace
their hand on. I provided markers, glitter & other decorations so
that each could decorate it to represent themselves. We used each
personalized hand to decorate our hallway. Each student was
represented and their uniqueness was emphasized and supported. This
was a great bonding experience and introduction activity because we
got to know ourselves better as well as our dorm mates.
Instructions/Things Needed:
Supply residents with cardboard or sturdy paper, scissors, markers,
paints, glitter & other decorating materials. Have each trace hand
and decorate to express themselves. Each student can then explain
their creation so that others will get to know them better. Use the
decorated hands to add a personal flair to the dorm areas.
Other Considerations:
Encourage diversity and personal expressions!!!
