Activity: Sense each other’s facial expressions using only your fingertips!
Description:Â This is the perfect one-on-one bonding activity. If you want to include others, have them be judges while you take turns pairing off.
Just make sure to do this with clean hands!
It may be a good idea for everyone to keep their eyes closed. Don’t want any accidental pokes in the eyes!
Additional Thoughts:
There are people who see better with their fingers than their eyes.
This activity not only gives you a different kind of bonding time together, but it also can give you a small first-hand experience of what it may be like to “see” someone else’s face without sight.
What we found surprising during this activity was how challenging it was to understand the facial expression.
That is, we couldn’t tell if the other was making a sad, happy, silly, angry, etc. face until after we recreated the expression piece-by-piece.
