traced, the participants will write unkind, rude, disrespectful statements all over the outline. After
the paper is completely filled with a variety of negative words, 3) the therapist instructs the
participants to crumble the drawing, and then un-crumple it. 4) Post the wrinkle drawing around
the room. 6) The coach will explain to the participants that this wrinkle paper is example of what

negative comments can destroy a persons self-image and often to a defeated body language in
the victim.
Leadership Consideration: CTRS specialist is in a position to guide participants one to one to a
description of morale development discussion. The therapist based only on personal experiences
and an example depict in the media. Before starting the session, therapist must conduct a warm
up by generating a whole group discussion about morale for approximately 5 minutes. The
CTRS assures participants safety while facilitating their discussion.
Adaptations: Participants with borderline personality disorder. Borderline personality
disorder is characterized by unstable moods, behavior, and relationships. Individuals with
borderline personality disorder require some modifications to rise opportunity for
accomplishment, to encourage them to involve fully in their discussion.

Facilitation Technique Category: Values Clarification
Activity Title: This or That?

Lesson Community for Education Foundation. 9/12/2015
Equipment: None
Participants: Any size
Activity Description: Values Clarification exercise particularly this or that activity is a method
used to help participants through the valuing process to explore what important to them and build
their own value system. This process help participants to think about something, develop their
own leisure value while interacting with other people. The purpose of this activity is to use the
kinesthetic involvement as a short values clarification exercise to help participants to identify
and explore their personal values. The facilitator explains the participants to present with a series
of choices that they are to answer using their body based on visual cue. Per example Would you
rather have X (point up) or Y (point down)? Those selecting option X would stand while
participants selecting option Y remain seated. Beginning with simple choices (Do you prefer to
wear clothes with or without patterns?) and moving on to more difficult ones (Would you rather
be healthy and very poor, or terminally ill and extremely wealth?) ask the participants a series of
questions. Ask the group if the questions got more difficult and ask for volunteers to share which
question were the most challenging.
Leadership Considerations: CTRS as a specialist structure the discussion to promote sharing.
He or she encourages participants to discuss the questions with their neighbors and to think
before speaking. To facilitate discussion during the activity, the therapist will explore why all
participants picked the same answer, or why one person answered differently than others. Cards
can make this activity funny and engaging for younger participants who are just beginning to

understand personal values. This activity would work well with groups of any size, indoor or
outdoor, in a large environment.
Adaptations: For group with few participants who are blind or visual impairment, the therapist
gives a verbal instruction in addition to the visual one. So while pointing up the facilitator would
also say stand up if you would rather X and while pointing down sit down if you would rather
Y. Once participants are voted, the therapist gives some indication of results. It looks like
everyone agrees they prefer solids to patterns in their clothing. Or Two of you would rather be
wealthy, while 7 people would prefer to be healthy. That way all the participants are involved in
all aspects of the activity. For a group that was comprised completely or mostly of people who
are visual impairment or blind, make the expression auditory and vote by volume, for example
cluck like chicken if you would rather X. Moo like cow if you would prefer Y
Adaptation: For participants with Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disease that
obstructs physical ability. To make sure that all participants are involved in all aspects of the
activity, the therapist provides some modification. He or she votes in a way that is accessible for
participants to interact with others. She or the does not single out one person to vote differently,
he or she proceeds to a whole group discussion.
