Pair of dice, clay or other sculpting material.
Sit together in a circle. Give one person a lump of clay. Give another person a pair of dice. The person with the dice yells out an object that can be sculpted out of clay (e.g., table, clown face, hot dog, airplane). The person with the clay starts to build this object as fast as they can. After yelling out the object, the person rolls the dice. After the number is known, the dice roller counts backwards to zero. For example, if the total of the dice is nine, the dice roller counts out loud backwards from nine to zero. When the counter reaches zero, the dice and the clay are passed quickly to the person to the right. The new sculptor continues to make the object. The new dice roller counts backwards from the new number rolled down to zero. Keep the fast-paced sculpture modeling and dice rolling going until someone rolls doubles. When that happens, the dice roller yells stop. The person with the clay sculpture must stop and then tell a brief story about the object in front of them (e.g., "The furniture store had an infestation of termites. That's why the table in front of me only has three legs"). Try several rounds starting with different sculptors and dice rollers.
What was easy or difficult about being the sculptor? How did you feel when others made alterations to what you had made? How could you make this a positive experience when alterations happen in your life? |
