Who's in control of your body? Here's a game for two or more players that will help you recognize the feeling of being "molded" by someone else.

How to play:

  1. For two players, pick one as the 'sculptor' and the other as the clay. If you have more than two, you may pair up or choose one person to sculpt all of the others.
  2. The 'sculptor' (player) gets to mold the "clay" into any shape possible without hurting the clay. The sculptor may bend arms and legs, tip heads and push faces into funny positions.
  3. When the sculptor is finished, the creation can be exhibited for friends or family. Does anyone have a camera?
  4. Finally, switch roles and the sculptor becomes the clay and vice versa.

To think about…

How does it feel when someone else is in control of your body?

Have you ever felt out of control?

What can someone do if they feel like someone else has more control over their body? (Tell that person "NO!" and tell an adult.)

So to answer our question, "Who's in control of your body?" YOU ARE!!
