Intention: Respond to the child’s invitation for physical contact, enhancing body awareness and self-awareness through various movements and games.
Clowns accept requested hugs, lifts, or touches and transform them into playful games.
For example, a lift may become an airplane ride, an arm or leg can serve as a road for toy cars or animals, and a hug can lead to a dance. Props, such as a Pilates ball or an elastic band, can be integrated.
It is crucial to adapt the intensity of physical contact based on the child’s sensitivity to touch, whether they are hypersensitive or hyposensitive. Context & Pre-condition: This activity requires self-awareness and interpersonal perception. Clarity in communication and understanding the child’s needs is essential.
