This is an activity which I designed after realising that my kids in a village were violent not only physically , but more mentally.
To solve it we did following :
1. A few times we did group discussions to discuss the Root cause for the violent behavior.
2. After RCA ( Root Cause Analysis) we found that, the main reason behind many conflicts is difference in views and blind reactions to external stimulus.
3. Now we had to name to what or who reacts to external stimulus and hence the word EGO emerged.
4. Now what does the EGO lead us to do was in nearest inner circle ( Passion, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Selfishness ) .
5. We had to work on each negative habit pattern and turn it's energy to positive habit pattern.
For instance, ( As can be seen in picture ) Passion can be changed to Compassion, Anger to Pure and unconditional ❤, Greed to Sacrifice, Attachment to Dettachment and Selfishness to Selflessness.
Now it's time to play the Game to EGO.
We sit in a circle with kids
Then we will put the Circular disc either on a central pointer ( on which it could be rotated) or simply rotate it by hand.
There will be an external pointer.
The person who rotates gets to see the section of the circle where the pointer points. Let's say if the pointer points to Anger, then the child knows that Nature 🌿🍃 wants him/her to work on their Anger by changing the energy of Anger to Pure and unconditional Love ❤ as shown on the corresponding outermost circular section of the disc.
The best part is that even as teachers or facilitators we will participate in this game with kids, which ultimately also helps in our reflection and transformation process, simply by playing a Game of EGO.
Hope it helps.
