Activity
Facilitator: “Now, I will say a tool and you will need to grab anything and use it as a prop that represent that tool. E.g., I say ‘sword’ and you grab the first thing you see and act as if it is a sword.”
Examples of tools:
- Crown
- Apple
- Horse
- Boxing gloves
- Gun
- Magic wand
- Rose
- cape, etc.
For facilitators:
Urge people to be in a rush and not to think about what they are taking. It doesn’t matter what they are holding but their attitude while holding it. Ultimate usage of a Props is not holding any prop and still creating a successful illusion you have one.
For reflection:
- How do you feel?
- How was it for you?
- What can you take from this to playing a larp?
