Step inside the circle

"Step inside the circle if . . ." serves as a good closing activity for almost any lesson.

Participants stand in a circle. Take turns making statements that begin with "Step inside the circle if...." and invite others to step inside if this statement is true for them. Provide the proviso that participants may step inside to different degrees (a little bit or all the way to the middle) depending on how true the statement is. Also, tell participants that not stepping in may represent that you are still processing the statement or not prepared to share your truth with others, which is okay.


Examples:
Step inside the circle if . . .
- you learned something new today
- you met someone new today
- you had fun
- you tried something new
- you wish you had said something that you didn't
- you learned something new about yourself
- you will tell at least one person about what you experienced here today
