In short: create a character change!
More ideas:
Create a sculpture that portrays
- Fear → feeling of being afraid
- Anger → feeling angry. A stronger word for anger is rage
- Sadness → feeling sad. Other words are sorrow, grief (a stronger feeling, for example when someone has died)
- Joy → feeling happy. Other words are happiness, gladness
- Disgust → feeling something is wrong or nasty
- Surprise → being unprepared for something
- Trust → a positive emotion; admiration is stronger; acceptance is weaker.
- Anticipation → in the sense of looking forward positively to something which is going to happen. Expectation is more neutral.
Two BA games:
use only your left hand and make a sculpture with your partner.
Instruct your partner in words only how to make a XXX design made out of 3 balloons while being blindfolded (the twister is not blindfolded. just the instructor)
Group games:
one balloon is added by each BA to create a huge hat. Every tenth BA has to pop one balloon instead of adding one.
